When I'm Home
when im home im free
to do nothing at all
like call my freinds for all to see
make supper
do my hair
maybe even clean there and there.
as days go by I simply say I love you more then time will take away
so spend a say with no regrets
with grandma rules and papa Ralph.
we do the dishes when thinsgg are done
watch movies,
play bassoones, euphoniums and even trombones for fun
but its when we make cake that we sit an hurry
for it really take but two little eggs, flour and a mystery to make a pastrey chef worry
frost frost it pumpkin pie
let it be quick silly willy
for fun never has to end in a hurry.
My Luv'e
O my Luve is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.
So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only luve!
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my luve,
Though it were ten thousand mile

Litany
In peace, let us pray to the Lord.
Lord, have mercy.
For the empty seat, we hold silence.
Lord, have mercy.
For the two hundred thousand, we weep.
Lord, have mercy.
For the homes incinerated, we mourn.
Lord, have mercy.
For the rule of law, we lament.
Lord, have mercy.

Novelty Numbers
After the elegant classic ragtime of Scott Joplin, there was a humorous take-off-- novelty ragtime. Novelty ragtime is the music of player piano rolls and silent movie accompaniments. It's a case of irregularity accented lines over simple, even static, harmony. The right hand hand plays quick, clever patterns while the left plays "oom-pah-oom-oom-pah. "It's fun, and you may just find a way to love working it into your playing today.
Notice that a three-note figure in eighth notes in the right hand is concurrent with a duple meter figure in the right hand. is concurrent with a duple meter figure in quarter notes in the left, creating syncopation.
If you delay the right hand entrance by a half beat and start on the and of 1 the accent would move back one note and have a different sound then the noted above, see note.
Besides the trick of accenting every third eighth note, the novelty rag composers frequently used triplets in the right hand. In the following example, the original pattern is rhythmically because of the of a triplet on beat 3.
You can play with the triplet, moving it to beat 1 as necessary or needed in your writing or music.

A secret to success for these patterns in novelty rags was to keep them brief-- just a couple of measures of this, theb a couple measures of that. But the patterns were likely to be recycled several times, alternating with different, complimentary patterns.
For a big collection of novelty rags check out Zez Confrey. I have played his works Dizzy Fingers (which is her on the blog somewhere), and Kitten on The Keys (which is a real nice read) and maybe about 88 more rags and 127 piano player piano rolls between 1918 and 1924.

I am looking forward to a new month of newly found clarity and juxtaposition and skill to adhere to something that could meanwhile be something worth words that could be listened to. Looking forward to fall fever and the change of weather with change comes spirit and joy! Best wishes come true!

from "I'm Growing Old"
I'm growing fonder of my staff;
I'm growing dimmer in the eyes;
I', growing fainter in my laugh;
I'm growing deeper in my sighs;
I am growing careless of my dress;
I'm growing frigal of my gold;
I'm growing wise, I'm growing- yes
I'm growing old.
VIA John G. Saxe, 1816-1887
"In front of the hotel I held my hands to the sides of my head face so I could see into the dimly lighted lobby. There were were the same old brown leather chairs, and the elevator, like a bird cage, with a piece of wood used to keep the door open between trips.The reception desk was where it used to be, but the board with the keys hanging from it had been replaced with more modern slots.
Erik held his hands to the side of his face, the way I did, and peered into the lobby. "You lived here?" he asked, a note of sympathy and disbelief in his voice.
"It was nicer in those days," I said, but as I said it I wondered."

"It had finally gotten down to it. The National Bandstand Dance-Off was coming up on live TV from Rydell's gym. All week in school, things were a little crazy. Everybody had the the jitters. Kids were dancing in the the halls, practicing and getting pointers. Classes were noisy and full of action. We all had a really hard time staying still."

Finally // Beautiful by Halsey
“I believe in roses. And I believe in putting roses into a vase and sitting the vase on the table. I believe in getting lost and being found, I believe in going barefoot, and in laughter! My religion is to laugh at myself, whenever I can! I believe in the sunlight and in grey skies with big, beautiful clouds!”
