I will learn from everyone and be no one's disciple
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Mr. Kleon tweeted a link to a Richard Linklater quoting this from Emerson. I couldn't get it out of my head, so I turned into something to sing.

I trim my block of cheese one slice at a time
One slice at a time
Decided to incorporate sheet music into these, which is good because my big head was crowding up the bottom third of the frame on the previous demos.
The melody in this is a variation of the previous demo When My Heroes Go Silent
When my heroes go silent,
I will have no fear.
I know they got to catch up, with
Their favorite TV shows,Â
And, a couple of beers.
The mistake was not makingÂ
The mistake was not makingÂ
The mistake was not making one
In the repeat of the lyric, there's a Bbm/Ab chord that sounded right when I was playing it, but at playback my ear is wanting to hear a simpler Bbm7. Well, ok then.
Inspired by the "Clean All The Things!" meme from Allie Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half, this goes out to those curating their best digital selves. Everybody's a micro-blogger now, curating their best bits on their favorite social network. We need all the help we can get!
Lyrics:
Help me
Help me, Lord
Lord, God, help me
Help me, Lord, to curate all the things
Help me
Help me, Lord
Lord, God, help me
Help me, Lord, to curate all the things
Help me, Lord, to curate all the things
Last week John T. Unger shared with me this helpful boogie woogie piano page at YouTube. Seeing that page inspired me to take a different approach for posting daily demos. I wasn't that fond of Tumblr's audio player, either. At the end of each week, I'll compile the demos and post them at wordtoflesh.com, along with sheet music and other images.

Show up regularly and so will serendipity
The transcription is representative of the music I had in mind, but each time I play this one I change the timings because the tempo is fairly rubato.
This lyric was inspired by a quote from writer Isabel Allende:
Show up, show up, show up, and after a while the muse shows up too, too.
Brain pickings did an article on her book Why We Write, and that quote comes from a passage that stresses work-ethic, instead of waiting on the muse to arrive.
A modest tune for modest people.
The Gm in bar 6 should actually be a Bb, and the first couple beats in bar 8 might be better with a Csus of some kind. But, just another skeleton- I can always change the tune's skin later.
