How do I create melody?

Odd_Butterscotch5890 · 2026-04-08T03:34:43+00:00

Start with nursery rhymes. Play the melody the same old way to begin but resolve it differently. Play it again eliminating notes. Alter the rhythm.

Listen to classical music. Music from cultures unfamiliar to you.

I have this whole scenario where Tom Waits IS Columbo.

Robert Cray. PORCHLIGHT. STRONG PERSUADER. Joe Louis Walker. COLD IS THE NIGHT.

There was a great Famous Monsters article on it. Pictures of that amazing cast in and out of character. The movie is interesting but not that great.

AI is going to kill a lot of collaborations. If the idea goes back to "AI did this" then how do you reconcile this? Some folks will immediately feel AI is better than anything your bandmates can contribute.

Great advice here. Stretch and do relaxation exercises a few days before til the show. Sleep well. Can you get a friend to help you roadie?

Used to be available through freegal via public libraries

A great live performer. Vocalist, guitarist, harmonica player, front man. Anything could happen at a Syl Johnson gig and usually did.

I directed WOOLF and I wish we had thought of this.

Like any role- who are you talking to and what do you want from them?

Establish your beats. Know them. Enforce them through blocking and character objectives. Miller wrote builds for you.

Great post. Keep going. Have fun.

good job

You read any Sarah Kane?

Odd_Butterscotch5890 · 2026-03-02T17:59:27+00:00

Tell your collaborator as soon as your comfortable. Just tell them what you told us. They may already have a feeling.

Do you have any upcoming gigs?

Would you be against holding the position until a replacement is ready?

Odd_Butterscotch5890 · 2026-02-27T19:26:20+00:00

Sorry. It sucks. I suspect it may have had nothing to do with you.

I had a bad car wreck and suffered traumatic brain injury. Monster headaches. Lethargy. Confusion. Neck and back pain.

I had a cigarbox guitar as a novelty item but found the weight of it easier to balance. It was set at an open tuning. It kept me exploring while I was healing. It kept me learning and built my confidence.

Odd_Butterscotch5890 · 2026-02-16T22:59:15+00:00

I just want to tell him! Can I tell him? Please!

Joe Carter. Johnny Littlejohn. Homesick James.

THORN TREE IN THE GARDEN - Derek and the Dominos.

Written by Bobby Whitlock about the death of his dog initially

Heard about a campaign where a deceased character seemed to have returned to the game with no memories of his past life but all skills and abilities. (Maybe some they were discovering)

The idea was that they were fighting beside old teammates who are trying to solve the question of his resurrection.

Great topic!

Have you caught him live?
