Description
Well I'm not inspired much, so I had to grab whatever I could while I had 'the spirit' tonight. I started this song out as a jazz project. Then as I was listening to the first run thru, it sounded like a Sade' song to me, so I went that direction with it.

Later on, I noticed It had a little bit of one of my favorite Acid Jazz songs to it, so I made an ode to the melody of that song as my part of my melody. I'm not going to name it, I'd like to see if someone can guess the song, if you listen to that style of music, you'll know it right away. First to guess gets, ummm, my respect?

Anyways, as usual, I had to finish before the inspiration died so of course it's a little rough round the edges, but I'm starting to accept that as 'my way', so this is what you get. Hope you enjoy it.

Now you don't need the others...
Soon you will discover that if you beat the crap out of it, the music will be even more interesting...

Nice extrapolation...
...of the potential in a cool groove...

Sure, it's got a bit of Sade to it, and I also hear some Meters echoes all through it...

I really enjoy the way you play guitar, Brian...

Thanks again for the listen, Ed. We're all a big mixing bowl of our biggest influences. I'm not surprised to be compared to The Meters.

likeness! Very nice indeed, wracking my brains to try and think of the referenced melody - do tell us after a decent interval!

Nice clean guitar!
This is a very smooth piece - a little Sade' maybe, or Knopfler at time. Its a very nice groove. Glad you got it down while the inspiration was there!

I'm from Montana. My grandparents on my mother's side were prolific musicians, but I suspect everyone needed something to do in the early 1900's before TV. I inherited their natural genetic talent, but was too distracted by video games and MTV to mak... [see more]
