About This.
Wow you're damned good.
Pretty much makes me forget you
left our one collaboration half finished
(which didn't irk me too much really, I go on, I live some sort of life... )
(you know, the slow parts, the parts you were supposed to sing but didn't?
perhaps you should get me the wav file to the finished thing,
and I can either sing that slow stuff myself, OR, as an option,
I could play some lead guitar, and if I don't like what I come up with
I can have George do it, I'll probably have George do it,
or you could go back and finish it.... I know, what nerve I have,
it's almost like I think I'm the World's Greatest... where do I get that?)
(well I suppose that's what I was going for...
anyway, forget 'the unfinished concerto' and let's talk about this.
Holy Bananas.
Well you, are a force to be reckoned with, clearly.
And the music, that's all that Andrew guy?
Okay, someone made a point to mention the drums
not being adequate. I second that, this song deserves better.
Bass also, not even 'fair', moves in some places, sleeps in others...
the bass is what gives a song legs,
okay, if you want to send me the wav----
oh yes, I should finish that though,
'finish a sentence now and then, Einstein'
you may not, and it's fine if you don't, I have plenty of work to do as it is...
but, in the same spirit that the one and only Lesley Gore once took me
under her wing, I will, if you like, just for you Kid,
if you send me the wav of this,
ideally, with just the keyboard stuff and your singing...
but I'd say, also you should send me this thing here as it is,
because I'll wanna go by that just to confirm beat placement such as it is...
yeah, I'll play what I consider to be proper bass and drums for this.
You were, just scary good, you impossible brat, and I say that with love.
No, that's good. Well it's intended good anyway. God only knows,
I may sound like the most obnoxious person who ever lived.
I'm sure several in life's own history, have in fact been worse.
I can think of a few just in my own travels....
Jesus, you were really good on this,
actually best I've heard out of you yet, Fran.
And the guy's keyboards with the vibrato stuff,
oh that is WAY Cool and Definitely Working.
That reminds me, I think I have records to put out myself here,
let me go see what I have ready to go here....
Okay, so IF you want me to 'do this up' as it were,
you know the address, (you should still know it anyway...)
musicmanager2001@yahoo.com
This record of yours,
Begging Please....
is two shades shy of perfect.
One shade being bass, one being drums.
I can do that. If you want. You don't have to have me do that,
you can leave it as it is. I personally think, as I just said,
this song, deserves, nay commands, the proper backing,
Andrew what's his name, impressed me with his keyboard work,
withholding his pay will not be necessary, he even gets a cookie.
A nice big bakery cookie, he did a good job.
So did you, I'd bring a cake, but then I'd eat half of it
and you'd call me a pig, and I'd oink and run away, probably laughing...
Yeah, Fran. This is a TOTAL Hit.
Or, is two shades shy of it.
I'm just going to say this,
I know because of my level of ability,
this makes me, oh, I'll go with 'annoying'...
everyone seems to think so...
and yet, only I, can do what only I can do...
which accounts for a whole lot of stuff.
That said, I am making quite a point,
to say all this.
I had not intended to.
"Let's see what the kid has goin on here..."
was all I thought, swaggering into the joint here.
Then I listened,
and 'ohhh'.
No, this is scary good,
and it's scary good,
because you really do put yourself into what you do,
so you need music that does the same.
The guy, Andrew, did well with the keyboard.
I can in fact take this existing wav file,
if you get it to me,
and just play over it,
the bass is such a wee murmur
and the drums such an incidental
thumbtack on the wall,
that what I would add, would be way more prominent,
but yeah, ideally,
you are to send me both,
this, as is, and, if you can get it (and it may mean going to a studio
you have to pay for, and you may not be able to afford that,
so in that eventuality, send me the thing as it is, and we won't
worry about getting me a wav with the sleeping bass and thumbtack drums off)
the thing without the sleeping bass, and thumbtack drums removed)
okay, any questions, ask.
I cannot anticipate everything.
There is a movie,
with Shirley Maclaine,
"Madam Sousatzka" I believe is the name of it...
She is an excellent music teacher, but she's a hard assed beyotch.
Okay, basically, that's me, and that's as much apology as I generally
give, for being me, with all my annoying ways. I'm Madam Sousatzka.
Now, you don't need to be taught to literally breathe music.
You do in fact need bass and drums that are hittin' it. Point made,
hopefully well taken.
God Bless, Much Love, ~Lesley
