day 3

Swingingrightintothebeat
yeah well
i really do believe
my music soul belongs in the 30s
really
it does
how else do you explain the tortured artist thing?
ok I suppose being a prodigy - in some intricate indigenous african music instrument - is probably a key requirement
but still
i do have a good singing voice, seriously, listen to me swing frank sinatra
all those years of classical music theory,figured-out harmonies,chord progressions have killed any ounce of spontaneous bursting-out-into-song
that improvised, impromptu thing
meantime let me find some inspiration... billie holiday? ella fitzgerald?
maybe some madeleine peyroux,
maybe that big band sound...
