Billie Holiday performs “Strange Fruit”
This is probably the most haunting song you will ever hear. Makes the skin crawl.
Raymond Scott - “Powerhouse”
When I was a kid, this song was the soundtrack of working/industry in the Looney Tunes cartoons. They used many iterations of Raymond Scott’s “Powerhouse” in those old Looney Tunes cartoons. Here is the the Raymond Scott Quintet performing it live on Hit Parade.
Serendipity!

I’m new to da Uke…
This is a song, that I am working on called, “Fire Refugees.” I have some lyrics written, but here is just a little bit of the music.

Raga Bass Meditation…
There is something very beautiful in the resolution of dissonance… Our ears love it! A gifted musician once told me, that was one of the secrets the Beatles used often in their music. Throw out a dissonant note… Which makes the listener wince a little, be slightly uncomfortable… But then the pay off is in the note which logically resolves the dissonance… Giving it a context. Like suffering and healing. In the Transcendence of Suffering there is great joy. In the harmonizing of notes, we find the metaphor for harmonizing in life… The dissonant notes will play out… And be resolved by beautiful notes… And then the whole Song… Symphony… Concert of your Life will be filled with such beautiful music… Others will be compelled to hear.

I meditate with my bass…
Don’t play covers, can’t read music, don’t know a damn thing about keeping time! But i love the sounds that come out of her, when i finger her strings. She mystifies me. Sounds like some lost Indian instrument… replaced long ago by sitars and sarods. But i listen to her ancient incantations, as we commune, and in this moment of merging with the music… I find Transcendent Bliss.
Jimi Hendrix wrote a song called Manic Depression, where he described his desire to make love to music. I feel that when i play. You aren’t just making love with the instrument, it is the actual physical sound waves traversing your being… Maybe, I’ll call it… “Bipolar Raga!”
