This morning there was a story online that talked about millions of dollars missing from a crypto fund. Perhaps someone accidently clicked on the “Clear Cash” button. If so, they are going to need some quality meditation time. With that in mind, here is today’s song which is titled Meditation, written by Louis Victor Saar. His birthday is this Saturday. And once again, I did not know that fact until after I transcribed his music just this morning.
The re-harmonization project continues….. Here are two versions of my re-harmonization of the Beatles “Within You and Without You.” I really like the way it sounds at the 33 second mark.
For those of you who don’t know, re-harmonizing a song involves adding different chords to an existing melody. In this case there weren’t any chords to begin with!
Here is the sheet music for all of you musicians out there:
.
I took out my glue stick
And made it acoustic
I’ve got the blues so bad
You know what I mean
It’s making me sad
And I’m turning green
Been laying in bed
Since half past two
It’s now five-thirty
I must be blue
Play the blues……..
Coming in at just a little over eight minutes long, the Beatles Medley is finished (at least this version). There are five songs in one: You Never Give Me Your Money, Sun King, Mean Mr. Mustard, Polythene Pam and She Came in Through the Bathroom Window. I hope you like it. And I wonder if it was Pam who fell through the bathroom window?
Do you remember a few weeks ago when I said I was going to re-create Side 2 of Abbey Road with my own versions of the songs? You do? Good! Here it is, again in February 2022.
It has been a long time since I have posted anything. But today that ends. Here is a classical song called “The Moldau” by Bedric Smetana (1824-1884):

Picks up the Dice
From the Table
Of the Local Casino
With her friend Dino
Look at her gambling
Throwing her pay
Down the drain
And she’s feeling
No pain
Some say she’s insane
All the unlucky gamblers
Where do they get their dough
All the unlucky gamblers
Why not just see a show
I see it every time in Vegas
I see it every time in Vegas
