Here's an original I wrote a while ago.. Had a bad day today, and this piece is relaxing.. so thought it might help some one else too.. I listen to it now, and have no recollection of how I did it, or got to the point to lay these tracks together.. I think Keith Richards said it best.. When asked how he managed to write hundreds of songs, a number of them top 10 hits.. He responded with, "I receive, I transmit."... Sometimes that happens to me, I get lost, and it just comes out, and I just try to stay out of the way, and not ruin it, by overthinking it.. The ending which seems to come out of nowhere, was in a different key than the body of the song, which gives it, that (I'm doing this with conviction, but I don't know what the hell I'm doing feeling).. gives it a weird enough twist..

Indeed. Most avant-gardist music schools (which tend to claim that they alone represent "modern music" in general) overrate originality, and that pretty much explains what Ken says - that it's rarely worth a second listen, since it's no longer "original" and its shock value is gone. Those who know me are already aware that the main thing, for me, is not originality, but authenticity and sincerity. Say what you really want to say, no matter if it sounds like Schubert or Tchaikovsky.

i wish to play the oboe!!=)
