Tempo . . .

 . . . tempo, tempo


Many things play crucial roles
In creating a musical tune.
There's instrumentation, melody, lyrics;
Ambience, mood. 
Through all these you must tiptoe.
But do not neglect 
The importance of tempo.


(Spencer's Mambo at 150bpm)

Sensitive . . .


'Sensitive flower',
I may have said once
In reference to
How you were acting.
At the time it seemed fitting
When your drama upstaged 
The event that had actually occurred.
I thought I was clever,
At the time, I would say.
Looking back now however,
Maybe I was remiss
And insensitive in my own way.

Origins . . .

 

I do not harbor a burning desire to be made aware of the origins of songs when hearing them in performance by the author. As a writer of them, I can honestly say they come from any direction at any time, generally uninvited, and mostly unexplained. Sometimes I can remember some circumstances surrounding the creation of a song. Many times I cannot. To hear such details painstakingly elucidated during a performance is, to me, not particularly enjoyable nor enlightening. As a creator of music, I would venture to say that the story (feeling, emotion etc.) that a listener perceives when hearing one of my songs is by far more important than the gory details of how the song came to be. Granted, multiple hearings must occur in order for a song to become familiar and be remembered. But something should 'hook' the listener on first listen to capture the imagination be it lyric, melody, tempo, or phrasing. On rare occasions, some historical information can be of interest, but the first and early public presentations of original songs need not include these presentations, as a rule, for every song being sung.

The Most . . .

. . . and the best. 

(from Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens) 
". . . He was sententious and didactic that night. If he had been simply loving, he would have done Little Dorrit more good; but she accepted him as he was - when had she not accepted him as he was! - and made the most and best of him. . . Little Dorrit then put her arm round her father's neck, to bid him good night. . . "

Starting . . .

 

. . . back in on this crap!

(from https://www.rawstory.com/mike-lindell-cyber-symposium-2654634727/)
". . . MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's so-called "Cyber Symposium" on voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election continued to go off the rails on Wednesday when one speaker shamed news outlets for not uncritically reporting his claims. . . The speaker began by admitting that he was "not a computer guy" and could not provide intelligent commentary about the purported digital hacking that Lindell has been alleging throughout the week. . . However, he went on to say that he's been doing his own "research" about the election for months and has concluded that it was stolen from former President Donald Trump.
. . . "We need to wake up as people!" he demanded. . . He then turned to scold the media for not taking Lindell's symposium seriously. . ."

P.S. Last development said Lindell is refusing to pay the 'reward' $5million to a claimant who, while being a Trump supporter (hoping to verify Lindell's claims), said Lindell's 'evidence' proved nothing.

OHO . . .

. said Mr Meagles . . . 

(from Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens)
". . . At Paris, Mr Meagles found a letter from Little Dorrit, lying waiting for him; in which she mentioned that she had been able to talk for minute or two with Mr Clennam about this man who was no more; and that when she told Mr Clennam that his friend Mr Meagles, who was on his way to see him, had an interest in ascertaining something about the man if he could, he had asked her to tell Mr Meagles that he had been known to Miss Wade, then living in such a street at Calais. "Oho!' said Mr Meagles . . . "
