I finished another song last week and gotten to perform it twice so far. Even had Ian Moore play along on his fiddle. That was awesome, as it always is when Ian joins in.
I also have begun a new song, or song project. It is very different to be in a project that I don't really feel has an end in sight. This project feels like an unending song that will have verses, multiple chorus, maybe chapters. Maybe I was very influenced by the large album pieces of the 1960's and 70's, "Quadrophenia", "Sgt. Peppers", "Tommy", "The Wall". They each got completed of course but They were epic works. Maybe they had some two minute fifty hits in them but I think that the composers may have gone at them as larger works.
I find it comforting to have an ongoing story/song to be able to come back to anytime. This particular work seems outside of what the "muse" is particularly interested in throw at me these days, but that in itself is also a bit comforting too. Sometimes it is good to have something to work on if I am not feeling particularly inspired, but that is also an available canvas should something drop down from the clouds into my brain.
So, the songwriter, me, got interviewed on a literary podcast and the session was just released today for Patreon subscribers. River River Writers Circle has a pod cast called "Littoral". I had a lovely time during the interview and am very grateful for their interest and the sensitive manner of the people who hosted me. Check, check, check it out, and become a subscriber/supporter of the arts and artists.
