Lucky To Get Through This

's'funny how I never seem to notice when it's a Friday the 13th. Two challenges I'm addressing today and for the nonce. First, what kind of chromaticism and "non-vocal friendly" things can I pull off with my voice alone? Is my mental model of the music strong enough that I can do non-diatonic things? Second, once the musical material has been made, do I come to a full enough grasp of "what's it for," what the point of the song is and how I use the material in service of that point? So many false starts today that it almost constitutes cheating. On an early take, I basically got the end, brought a part in, and said "naw that doesn't work." Instead of "yes-and"-ing that decision, I pulled the plug. Fine. I learned more this way. Enjoy.
