The Steamboat Stomp Episode 66

[Verse 1]
Some call me a hustler, some call me a freak
But I’ve been chasing dollars every hour of the week
Got to calm down, don't look down
Running in a rat race, coping with your attitude
Till I find a wealthy sponsor, someone to cling onto
Then I’ll calm down, before I breakdown

[Chorus]
You’ve got diamonds on your plate
While I’m hopping over the gate
'Cause I know I’m selling my grace
I’m the Entertainer!
Every moment is a possibility
I live on the edge, you see?
You’ve got diamonds on your plate
I’m the Entertainer!

[Verse 2]
Die for high-end fashion, and starve to pay the debt
Blackout in the summer, and gamble what is left
My rich friends are so bored now, refuse to share the wealth
We all enjoy the sadness, ruining our mental health

[Chorus]
You’ve got diamonds on your plate
While I’m hopping over the gate
'Cause I know I’m selling my grace
I’m the Entertainer!

[Bridge]
You look sad and lonely, come and spend some cash on me
I got swagger, I got juice, tell me what you wanna be
Have you ever smoked on a beach?
Stolen liquor from a store?
Broken all the rules?
Throw a little cash if you think you’re bold enough
Throw a little cash if you think you’re bold enough
I’m the Entertainer, entertainer…

[Outro]
Get up and see the hunger in my eyes.

I'm The Entertainer (Scott Joplin)

The Entertainer de Scott Joplin dans une version pour 4 saxophones.

The Entertainer

Composed  May 1989, for piano solo, titled at that time "Turning Point" (Piano Etude no.2), which is a title changed here because I did not want this work to be associated with a political group of the same name. 
A lively 1910’s orchestra guides the melody, with lush strings, playful clarinet, muted brass, and syncopated percussion, The piano leads with jazzy, grand flourishes and bluesy runs, weaving through whimsical woodwind motifs and rich, swinging brass harmonies

Cat's Pajamas

Time Off is a piece originally scored for piano and guitar, here has taken on a few more instruments.

The Steamboat Stomp Ep. 67

Coins run low but I stay glad
Sunlit steps keep my song steady
Street sounds lift me forward past the burdens I carry
Maybe luck will rise again and guide me to a brighter day

Hard work barely keeps my table filled
Still I smile gathering each small coin
Hometown chatter keeps me hopeful though the bills stack high
Maybe luck will rise again and guide me to a brighter day

Morning breezes warm my pace
Neighbors wave and joke as I walk by
Even with low pay I keep my spirit rising strong
Maybe luck will rise again and guide me to a brighter day

Lean days meet me yet I keep moving
Weathered roads still guide me toward hopeful sunrise
Even when work fades I keep my laughter steady on
Maybe luck will rise again and guide me to a brighter day

Fortune slips but I stay bright still
Still I joke to keep my tired heart light
Let the lean days roll along while hope taps gently
Maybe luck will rise again and guide me to a brighter day

Laughed too loud and got tossed out
Still the sidewalks welcome me with chatter lifting
When the daylight fades I keep my spirit rising on
Maybe luck will rise again and guide me to a brighter day

To a brighter day

Song for the outro of A Town Called Solitude In Undead Peril

Safe again!

The entire sound is in my hands. I write cyber poetry, produce, and compose every track ready for Immersive 3D. Every beat is crafted for spatial and next-gen headphones.
Intimate lyrics, total immersion, every track.

For 30 years I kept unfinished demos to myself, never letting them out. Now I finish what I start and release it the moment it’s alive.

I use every tool available, human or machine, as an instrument.
Technology doesn’t replace creativity. It expands it.

A note about AI assist:

Regarding all my instrumentals, I composed the original works and possess the original manuscripts.  

My compositions are the source material, and for AI assist where used, I create the prompts and style instructions (which is time consuming and require hours of trial and error) at suno.com to produce the final version of the works which I feel are best. What you hear finally is at times the best of perhaps dozens of variations after much work is put in to produce the final outcome.  I try to find the right balance between what I composed originally, and what I envision is perhaps a better result with the assistance of AI.  I also aim for a realistic reproduction should live performance ever be a consideration.

For songs with Lyrics, I am the lyricist in every case, and the music is built from AI where I provide specific instructions as to style, genre, tone, key, and so forth. 

Some tracks are exceptions to the above descriptive process, and when this occurs that track itself will include how the track was developed in its description.

Classical music in St Louis, from Classic 107.3 and 96.3 HD2
