Nope Eddie it just had to spring from the situation and I think Blind Joe was a total spur of the moment kinda name for the curve I needed

Thanks Steve..the more I play it the better it gets smile

Hi Michael and wow thank you for the in depth thoughts on this and your complicated reactions...taking a key plot device to tragic consequences because that would certainly be a possibility
Definitely an increase in the scoundrel scale to an unintended level.
And yes. Practice. Practice....Repeat. That performance was definitely early to young version and has improved since
Still a CPA and doing tax returns and other things so I am happy when I get something decent I can get up to youtube
Out of tuning comment taken as that was the end of multiple takes and I should have checked my tuning.
And I love how precise your ear is...how precise ears can be.
Must come in handy when crafting operas..

Hiya FD and thanks for listening in. Early to young and much improving song as I play it.
Melody gets better too with repetition and thanks for the line metering suggestions as a way to play with it as I work on it

Thank you everyone...

If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
