The music is set to a house groove and I added some funk elements to make the track stand out. Well, I kept writing and moving on to other songs so the “dummy” vocal had to stay as the main vocal.

For the music video I tried something new and asked my daughter, Juliet, to become a part of the project and guide the video. This is set in a virtual world called Roblox. If you have young children you may know about Roblox and its vast universe. Click the Link in the Bio to Give it a Listen. (To be continued)

This is one of the first songs I wrote during this COVID era, “Thrive.” It is an empowerment song about independence and destiny. I didn’t have any person in mind when I wrote it but, maybe at an unconscious level, I personified this whole lockdown situation and new normal. I did picture a female voice and hoped to have a female artist sing it one day. When I recorded it I had to drop the track down a few keys before I laid down the “dummy” vocal. I use a “dummy” vocal as a guide when I am producing and adding those final touches to the musical content.

Where do musical ideas come from? Back in the day I use to record my melodies on micro cassettes. I would be just about to go to bed and a catchy chorus would invade my mind and keep me awake. Or I would be eating dinner and a chord progression would rush me from the table to my keyboard to record the sequence. I have a collection of old micro cassette recordings that were created from such events from my youth. How they just appear is pure magic. It’s like they are floating in the ether looking for a receptive mind to occupy. Stay openly creative my artist friends…

It’s the best feeling to finish the Copyright of the music writing process. It’s the paperwork aspect that I don’t look forward to filling out and finishing. I guess it’s one of those necessary inconveniences that come with the territory. My favorite part is the creative process and all the tools and technology that come with making music. At least it’s not like back in the day when you had to physically mail in everything and wait several months for registration. I remember mailing bulky tapes and forms with white out all over them because I wasn’t sure what to fill out 😂. This electronic filing system makes it a whole lot easier. You get your registration back faster, case numbers, and lots of resources with key information. Love it! It did get a little pricey though. The price of ease and convenience does come with a cost I guess. Well, now off to the next melodic endeavors...

To Bridge or not to Bridge? The bridge section of a song can be a challenge at times. Sometimes an instrumental break works and others seem to require another melodic avenue to explore. It’s the returning back to the home chorus that makes it an interesting endeavor.

I finally got a dedicated digital recorder to put down my ideas. I relied on my phone to put stuff down but there are always file, compression, and conversion issues. This should make it a simple process to access my files. Plus, the boogeyman can’t hear my recordings or ideas anymore 😂

All lives matter. But the system does not reflect that statement. All lives matter. But some people are treated differently in this country. All lives matter. But the social and economic disparity between races shows us that some lives don’t matter. All lives matter. But to some people your feelings and experiences don’t matter. All lives matter. But to some your grievances are not real and don’t matter. All lives matter. But you need to be quiet and stop saying Black Lives Matter. When I hear or read the statement “All Lives Matter,” it is a way to pivot and turn away from the real issues and racism that are so ingrained in this country. Some people don’t want to see the real problems plaguing our country and examine their own hearts. It’s easier to just say, “All Lives Matter” and let the conversation stop there. Black Lives Matter. When you read that statement and consider the history of slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, civil rights, and modern day discrimination, you can see how this statement is valid and relevant. If you read it at its superficial level and completely ignore the history attached to that statement, then you are blind to what is going on in your community, city, and country. The original sin of this country has made a full circle and we need to acknowledge it and start making real changes. When we as a nation finally recognize, address, and resolve these issues we can move forward as a unified country. BLACK LIVES MATTER.

Finally had the chance to visit one of my fav stores. I followed the entrance protocal, downloaded the app, waited, and was sanitized when I finally entered the store. This Covid environment has really made its mark on everyday life.

Finally finished designing my logo for Java and Jams. I’m hoping to get the show back up and running soon. Stay tuned...
