My Blue Genie W/ Sloparts


Get Flash to see this player.

Description
Well they say if you play with the best you have to up your game so I hope I've Done Ed's work some justice. On a lazy Sunday I stumbled on the original track of My Blue Genie by Ed Sloparts. I was blown away with the whole feel of the track and the riffs that were scattered throughtout.

I wrote to Ed asking if I could play along with the track as he had suggested that we might collab just before Christmas and to me this seemed the perfect piece to use. He kindly gave his permission.

As with any piece, when it's posted it's done as a complete project so the first task I had was to make some room for my additional playing without interfering with the flow of the original that I liked so much. To do this I coppied a complete section and spliced them on to the original in effect making the original longer to allow for lyrics and a solo to be inserted.

Thats about it with the exception of some invaluable tutoring on mixing to enhance the lessons I had from Terraplane. Therefore I post this for your perusal. From an Orignal instrumental piece composed by Mr Ed Sloparts Wemmerus A true gentleman and Deaf Bluesman (On his own admission and our joke). I give you a reworked My Blue Gene with Lyrics. Ed Big respect and bigger thanks.

Lyrics
My Blue Genie,
That Girl has never been kissed.
My Blue Genie,
That Girl has never been kissed.
You gotta love her blue,blue eyes
and the sway of her hips.

She gave me three wishes,
I bought a cadillac,
I wasted the other two
Now she want those wishes back

My Blue Genie,
That Girl has never been kissed.
My Blue Genie,
That Girl has never been kissed.
You gotta love her blue,blue eyes
and the sway of her hips.

Solo

My Blue Genie
She's gone to pastures new.
My Blue Genie
She's gone to pastures new.
Oh how I miss my blue,blue Genie
Now I'm the one thats Blue.

Cracking trad blues! Can see the eyes closing and the head moving with the music. Great turnaround and the end is straight out of a New Orleans coffeehouse. Well done

Hey you
done good here...apparently technically as well as musically....."I copied" and " I spliced" ...SPLICED....hell where did that come from....the only splicing I ever know you to do is the mainbrace and thats only when the sun is over the yardarm...altho'we are a bit loose in the definition of "over".

Joking aside ,cracking job both yas...the original is great and it has been gone and dragged to another dimension....

I really like where you took this song, Rick
The added verses, guitar work, lyrics and vocals are working very well and take the song up a few notches in MHO.

Thanks for letting me be a part of the process and for choosing this song as worthy of your very talented efforts my friend.

Next thing is we need to do, is a new song from scratch and see what kind of musical mischief we can get into on the Blues.

Thanks again Rick, it turned out great.

I like all kinds of music but I'm predominantly a Blues freak contemporary or traditional although I am a cursed ballad writer and have to record them to get them out of my head. I welcome advice and critisism as I feel thats the way to improve. T... [see more]
