Nope Suno won't be doing it , Its be Elvis Nash and Mason Douglas in Nashville. I just stole from Suno for a penny. I'll just lie say I wrote the melody , Been playing longer than Rick Beato
Young people lie , old men tell stories. Yeah I'm a prodigy , went to Juliard , lies like that

Think about it Ben...

You turn out this really good sounding stuff with the Bots and then you turn around and pizz on em. They're going to remember that about you when they take over.

Yeah killed in my sleep by Rusty Throaty, Well I paid them a penny , You can't say I'm not generous. I'm sure Mason will appreciate the facts I'm using humans. Not send them to welfare lines , cuz you guys are to cheap. They have took over lol. Suno might have made everyone lazy , They know for one Penney , They get a decent song , So no more investment , No players , no studios. No stress to beat robots .

ha ha ha , Seems like a waste of money buying a gun and one bullet only used once , So keep singing Rusty songs. Is a suicide note is alot of work , So just write another song. Jack Nicholson in that movie as good as it gets , He stands in the lobby of that shrink office , with patients on chairs . He says , What if this is good as it gets . Thats pretty poignant

Try to relax about this Ben. You're writing some good songs. Focus on that.

In other news....
Allowing a "car wreck" to play-out on a public forum as unchecked entertainment is completely warped. This should be a private matter.

No sense of humor . What do I need AI for a suicide note , Cuz my grammar is bad. I guess we could rename the Golden Gate Bridge after me , $500 for a 38 , thats highway robbery. Is there a payment plan ? Well I might be around to pay off the balance

Not sure what the story is between you and Rob, but it's a cool tune. I could hear this in a film - well, with the right bar scene. Hoping this isn't Suno produced.

They should bring back Taxidermists , Just stuff you and put you in a corner and use you as a coat rack. If your on a budget , Just wall mount you like a moose

I stole the melody from them robots , Now its being produced in Nashville. It's a studio called Sarcastic. I think it caters to old men that sound like Tom Waits

Hmm... I don't know any publishers that charge a fee for listening. I sure wouldn't be interested in them.

I wouldn't call her a publisher. Sounds more like she sends songs to publishers and music supervisors for a fee. You can obtain all that info on the IMDb. She doesn't really list any of her actual placements on TV or film.

Washington Street Publishing. No she's a publisher , Her boss is Quinnie , I've dealt with them. It's been a few years. Technical terms she's a rep , or was I'm not sure what their doing now.

I'm sure it's all changed , before you could walk in BMI in Nashville and get set up with publishers. Yup memory lane .

In the intro, and change in chord, and vocal, on the lyric word applause…..I want to learn to play and sing that, to duplicate that thing that happens, whatever that is that triggers my entire sense, what-ne-call?….sensory explosion?

So yeah, I want to cover that little bit … steal it….uses it somewhere to spill some artistic blood.

Elvis, Ben

For the sake of clarity...

That is not a quote that I ever remember saying.
Applied specifically to Bill Draper, I never said anything like that about him. Pleasant personality.

Applied at large, regarding this site, I cant say that I disagree with it.

I would be much more likely to say...if you organize a constructive endeavor, such as songwriting and you let dysfuntional personalities with possible pathologies run loose with free reins...choas and acrimony are inevitable and will become the main endeavor.

Having said that, I am very familiar with the Mark Twain quote;

"Never argue with a fool; observers may not be able to tell the difference."

and am guilty as charged.

Please make note of this for any future reference to me.

I stated that I agreed with it as applied to this site.
I would be fine with owing up to having made the statement...but I dont recall ever doing it.
You must have been having one of your "moments" and mis-remembered this.

Well, that seems perfectly reasonable and rational, so yes, let's move on. wink

Yet, so you say, but is there a blue dress?

No. It is only that we each go in our own focused direction…so we miss hear or miss read the other.

But isn’t language and communication the art we are in?

The answer is yes.
Yet, if you are gonna keep the communication going, there needs to be boundaries regarding exactly what is communicated.

That's gonna be true whether you are a middle school teacher or the captain of an aircraft carrier.

Yup you can't produce the blue dress , We talk to pictures on blanket statements , In real life you read a persons posture and eyes , and what you can say and not say

If your wife truly thinks that the world is flat, the best and most pragmatic course of action available to you is to agree with her, and sleep with one eye open.

However, 37 years?
Are you certain that she is not actually your grand daughter?

I can see why you would think it, but I wasnt implying that.

Another scenario...
She is a grand daughter and comes over and cooks him a meal every day and then leaves.
He forgets all about her until she shows up the next day.
Time goes by and as it does , he begins to assume she must be his wife.

He remarked one day about those damn robots.
She said those robots are taking over.
He said, I guess that's just the way that world turns.
She said that it does not, it's stationary, flat, and he is upside down.

Guess you're calling him old maybe me too. 37 years younger don't know that I could handle that, I've always went for the older women. Told my wife when she turned 60 I was going to trade her in on two 30's. She didn't take to that.

I'd be grateful that she reacted the way that she did.
She could have said..."works for me." wink

Ps...I just turned 73. Prolly older than both of you

Yes. You are going to bring this song to your musicians for a demo with no vocal, so you can sing. The bit about your wife is off topic. You attempting to be George Carlin.

But these off topic back and forths have their use I believe….some of this may be yours or Marty or Tex’s next lyric

"Off The Wall" is a fun mode to be in.
Ben has always seemed to enjoy it and I do too.

Although, Ben can become unpredictably prickly about the oncoming robot usurpation.
So one has to avoid tripping those wires.

And song/life themes always show up. wink

Thats my life and wife , if I'm coming off a George Carlin , Whatever . Correct , Tracks are being in Nashville . Yes then in a studio to sing it. Yes Im on the fence with Suno , it's a love hate relationship , Which I'm sure a lot of pros are . But the cats out of the bag , So adjust. And thats exactly what they're doing . You've heard the confessions by Rick Beato
