writes about music and life

I’ve put quite a few of my analytic essays up on this blog as well as excerpts from some of my transcriptions. I shouldn’t be surprised to see bleeding chunks of my analyses as well as my transcriptions showing up in student term papers. Someone called sunny_storm has written a posted this essay on Live Journal. In the comments, I can’t help but be pleased to see the ripple effect of my work.

Fireypriory shares a story about that ripple:

Also my brother Sam is DROOLING over the bits of sheet music you found. Then I followed the URL and found in Roger’s blog the first page of Memphis Skyline - and WELL! Sam’s been pounding it out all night, and demanded that I sing with him until our mother made us stop because our two youngest siblings couldn’t sleep. It was glorious fun, and I wish to goodness Roger could publish his book of Rufus’ music, Sam and I’d be first in line to buy it.

I can’t print any more of this here, but anyone with a good ear should be able to figure out the rest.
