music in the shed


Based on an 19th Century folk song " Silver Dagger " ....... versions of which have been recorded by The Eagles ; Joan Baez ; Bob Dylan ; and Dolly Parton , amongst others ......

On first hearing I assumed he`d been killed by the girl described in the song due to his unfaithfulness , the letter from him that she clasps in her hand telling her that he is about to leave her for someone else ................. But the letter she holds could also be his suicide note , which probably places the ball back in her court ........

Lyrics, songs i have been playing for many decades, never really listened to the lyrics, just used certain words as "punctuation" in a song for change chord/key etc. Gal singer here and myself did Peggy Lee "Fever", being just us i can hear the lyrics more so than in the usual stage bound cacophony. On that, can be a real shock to new musicians fronting into a live band on stage, just what a racket it is, you learn to read the punters faces as to whether the great transmutation from stage to dance floor is happening. Thank goodness it does most of the time.

Saint Etienne has softer delivery than what am used to hearing, fess up have no idea of whom she is. Do like Alison Mosshart, not a great singer does deliver with the vib and energies, live "No wow" a case in point, nice version of Iggy "Passenger" for a moderate degree of skill depth. j
 
Music in the shed is very good, going out dancing tonight, flinging a few/many gals around the dance floor is of the moment better.... step step rock step... j
 
Been gathering parts to assemble/fabricate a decent 36 string Gothic Harp. In my travels of the WWW, this came up... whole new world of talent in the younger generations, quite diverting to the senses here. Metallica "One" an always favorite. The world has much goodness to be found, in deference to the eternal and worse bad news. j

Bring back the Farfisa and cow bells i say, repaired an Italian guitar with fret triggered organ section all on one guitar neck, no divider chain, all discrete oscillator tone generator for each cross point...bizarre and sounded like a Farfisa.... yes riveting... its the Italian connection all the same..j

I like this rather too much, but for all the wrong reasons…😉
