A very productive evening. Swannanoa Rising is a Gold Soul invention…soon to be compilation of various spontaneous expressions I was able to pull from the back & whites. This first one was the one played first…”01.Invention.12.24.26.mp3.”

As I think I have mentioned elsewhere, this “Studio” section of the site is a parking place for some of my practice sessions. This page-section is not meant to be a polished representation of anything; just a musical walkthrough that may or may not be interesting to whoever comes here. Below is “Brokedown Palace.”

Third adventure that night was the Invention below. Naming these has been an issue since to assign a random name is to ‘lock in’ the structure of the song and that I have not done with most of these. June Bug Blues was an example of playing it and putting it down as ‘named entity’ and also making a Chordify PDF. Have not yet done that for these included here but that might happen later. At this point, the file name is “03.Invention.12.24.26” (where it appears in the sequence of recording it plus “Invention” plus the date. When I compile all the Inventions for the month and/or the year, the Date is the only way to find the original folder and recording. “03.Invention.12.24.26.mp3.”

Below is the fourth song played this night. An instrumental version of “American ISIS.” The full version with the lyrics is here. Also the story.

Next up to be measured is Dylan’s “You’re Going to Make Me Lonesome When You Go.” Nothing particularly special but included here as a “matter of record.”
