[Repeal The 17th]

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”

[Slings and Arrows]

Glad you enjoyed. The song unquestionably has boogie woogie elements, along with some stuff I nicked from early electric blues.

[Repeal The 17th]

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.

[Slings and Arrows]

Happy to oblige, but I’ve got a couple of things to do first. Give me a day or two.

[Slings and Arrows]

Preach.

[Slings and Arrows]

You’re very welcome. Glad you liked it.

[Slings and Arrows]

Thanks a lot! I’m honored.
