General Music Chat

It was a while back, about all the trials and tribulations . . . all the reasons a particular girl wouldn't work out . . .
- abilty, and having the ear
- creativity
- style of music
- distance
- time available
- transportation
- etc., etc., etc. . . .
.
I'd been looking for a couple years . . .
Anyway - I just posted the first recording of the newest member of the 'Alan Bradley Group' singing lead.
Melissa Spencer takes the spotlight in "Descending Boogie."

Sounds like you got a winner there! Good luck!

Classic

Believe it or not, my drummer has found not one or two, but THREE beautiful voices for a similar project, Alan.

She has a wonderful voice for your stuff. Clear as a bell. Wonderful enunciation. Great control. Congratulations!

Thankyew, thankyew.

The clincher for me was that - like me - she also only wants to do original music.
AND - I don't need to teach her.
.
It's really nice to be able to talk about the emotions in music, and weaving harmonies, and other stuff like that - without ever having to explain what I mean or how to do it.
.
Some people you have to tell them what you mean - other people you can just tell them.
Some people 'get it,' others do not.
.
If I ask her to 'sing with a smile' - she get's it, and it sounds happier. If I say - 'when you sing this song, think that you're just fed-up with the guy - but it's no big deal," that's all I have to say. One can hear the difference.
.
She get's it, and gives the song the needed character change.

Sweet

Looking forward to more.

Wow! Yeah, she certainly sounds like a good fit...cool!

I've also recorded a Blues I wrote with her.
.
On the near future, I'm planning on recording a pop song, and a couple rock songs with her, maybe a folk song or two.
.
I've gotta write some lyrics for 2 Funk songs I wrote, then those are next . . .
