Building . . .




Here, nothing but time
On my dirty hands to no
No avail
Try as hard I might
Pour-ing every ounce of
My energy
Into a song
The only thing I can do for you
Something is wrong
Barely a note breaking through
Hardly a clue
Dry as a well
A-rid as the des-ert I
Seem to be
When will it end?
We will see

What, you’re asking, Is
There to be concerned a-
bout in this anomaly?
Sure this kind of thing
Happens all the time to
All practitioners of
Rhythmic expression
Propelling souls into space; flying
Evoking so
Many emotions within
Out of the din
But in spite of this
I will persevere in
My endless quest for
Voice to express
What I feel

A groove. . .

 . . . is a groove is a groove (to paraphrase Gertrude Stein). . .

(from Wikipedia.com)
"Groove is the sense of propulsive rhythmic "feel" or sense of "swing" created by the interaction of the music played by a band's rhythm section (drums, electric bass or double bass, guitar, and keyboards). Ubiquitous in popular music, groove is a consideration in genres such as salsa, funk, rock, fusion, and soul. The word is often used to describe the aspect of certain music that makes one want to move, dance, or "groove".
Groove #1: "bass drum on beats 1 and 3 and snare drum on beats 2 and 4 of the measure...add eighth notes on the hi-hat".

Musicologists and other scholars began to analyze the concept of "groove" in the 1990s. They have argued that a "groove" is an "understanding of rhythmic patterning" or "feel" and "an intuitive sense" of "a cycle in motion" that emerges from "carefully aligned concurrent rhythmic patterns" that sets in motion dancing or foot-tapping on the part of listeners..."
