I have always had a problem trying to “pigeon hole”
music into different “genres”.

I enjoyed your music,
I slowed it down to .75 speed,
and it sounded better to me.
-
“Boogie Woogie”
Glad you enjoyed. The song unquestionably has boogie woogie elements, along with some stuff I nicked from early electric blues.
At .75 speed I could hear the 3 chord progression better.
But hat is just me and my ears.

Every “me” and every ear is different.
Thanks, Hoppy. That was a rolling melody.
Excellent! It brought back two memories. First, cruising the A&W in small town Southern Ohio in the 60’s. Second, hanging out with my late uncle at Fernwood Records in Memphis in the 50’s.
I spend a lot of time at shag dance clubs in North Myrtle Beach. How would this song sound at 115-120 bpm? I can put words to this. Can you send me a downloadable link? I’ll sign an NDA.
Happy to oblige, but I’ve got a couple of things to do first. Give me a day or two.
Preach.
You’re very welcome. Glad you liked it.
Thanks a lot! I’m honored.
