DOWN THE ROAD A PIECE -... there are melody makers

There are reasons to be worried all the time. On the other hand, it is necessary to be calm and not get paralyzed by all the troubles. Music is for joy and communication, it´s not the only way, but one big road, back in time too.

How much is playable on a guitar? Very much, enough for a lifetime, for anyone. Not only the originals for the instrument. Guitar has several octaves, you can play in voices, you can bend the strings…, and so on. Different tunings are possible. As mentioned, the numbers om “melodies” are cosmical. New are created all the time. In different rhythmical and harmonic surroundings melody live differentely. Different shadings, dynamics.

The arrangement as a playground is of highest importance. Like making food with ingredients. If your bag is full of frozen Pan Pizzas, well..., it may be practical, but how interesting is it? One of my favourite trips is to go around in my surely compact living apartment, looking in the boxes for musical food. Ingredients. Yes, I´m also talking about different categories of music (fishing waters of the guitar player).

There are different categories, it´s not one big pot. Many categories are closely related, but some far,... other include black sheeps and some jokers.

Coming up more about this trip...., on this Blog!

Weather report: Is it true? Is it spring? Maybe summer coming? Once again? I want rattle snakes on the streets after this unusual-several months-dull-winter in these parts. Come Africa and California! Let the crocodile hunters invade the marketplace. Summer safari with bicycle Now! Let the icecream flow out of the windows! I don´t care if some look like idiots in their shorts and hawaiian t-shirts when we have +10 celsius..., I forgive them because of their happiness!
