FAWM 2025 #5: When the River
Following the lead of dozens of early blues singers lamenting flooding.
Following the lead of dozens of early blues singers lamenting flooding.
I finished writing this one, but ran out of recording time (traveling to visit family for the last couple of days of FAWM).
Collab with lyrics from @nancycunning: since they're not mine, I'm not posting the recording.
Up to the listener whether this is an adenoidal lament, or .... something else.
Tribute to the @nicholascage sock-puppet.
When the time comes...
I've made two different stabs at lyrics for this tune, each less successful than the other. I like the theme for the second one (Skinner box, rat-in-a-maze), so maybe I'll come back to it after FAWM.
I originally intended this son to be a straight-ahead minor blues, but the lyric fought with it, turning it into a mixolydian shuffle.
