Writing Song Lyrics First

 Writing song lyrics first, without music in mind, is a very difficult thing to do.  Having the melody line determines the rhythm of the words.  Without that fundamental pattern of time signature and tempo and quantization level, all you really have is syllable count and end word rhyming.  This fact probably accounts for why poetry can seem stiff and regimented.

Burr Oak State Park and Marietta Ohio with Soundtrack: Dreaming of You

 Tranquil images and iPhone movies of a local state park at the end of the "leaf changing" fall season. The video also includes a few images of an Ohio river city.  The dance groove in this track is very compelling!  Dreaming of You, originally in the unreleased Stratman Unplugged series written in 2020, was initially called Strat Solo No 2. #statocaster #fender #BurrOakStatePark #Marietta #music #dance #musicians #musica #musicislife #musiciansofinstagram #martinguitars #practicemakesperfect #acousticmusic #livemusic #guitarsofinstagram #guitarsarebetter #guitarplayer #guitarist #guitars #guitarsolo #guitar Burr Oak State Park Video on YouTube
