I miss you on weekends
RebelWithASmile:
thanks a lot you guys, i think i know what to do now. Milomorris, i like your idea of creativity, opera singer? Thats really cool, i bet that takes a lot of concentration and skill. Do you like Paul Potts? i love his voice, have his CD. I've been really listening to a lot of music these days.
work work work! You guys work so much :laugh: i almost can't wait to work, so i can have money to be the person i want to be (money is not needed, but of course it helps).
Kelda, thanks, i have been talking to him less and less. I really feel bad for him, though.
and Br. Patrick, thanks a lot! I always ask (thus i must be creative, lol...) I love editing, especially Brokeback music videos, the movie is always fresh in my mind
thanks alot!
Kelda:
aye you work to live not live to work Rebel!

Most definitely. Rebel's creativity is an innate characteristic. Its in him.

Have you written anything that a guy with a low voice can sing?

Most of the Inspired music that I wrote was for monks with very little vocal range. I wrote hundreds of Antiphons with the Cantor beginning (and there is where I could use Bb - Eb) but when it came to the monks response, I was really limited from C to about A# or Bb. But since I can play in any key it worked. Never tried composing music BELOW Middle C at all. What type of music do you like? Send me some metered verses and I could attempt it. *I don't write the words or verse, and often had to adapt what I was given to punctuate the music. (Making the words hape proper musical stresses..)
..but what I really like to do is pick a key, decide if I will go up or down, close my eyes, and then just JAM. This came in handy for background music for appropriate rituals. I could stop EXACTLY when I needed to - something I have always treasured as my special gift.
I'm an amateur musician, had 3 months of lessions when I was 10 years old that didn't work because I was living with my father and the piano and practice were at my mother's house. I never stopped playing though and can play by ear. If I hear a song played, I can play it (with my particular limitations) Played 4 times a day in the monastery from 1978 until 1997. Then TOOK 10 YEARS OFF!

Thanks Rebel for letting me borrow your blog. One thing I forgot to tell you. Creative people are a strange lot - often called crazy because we don't think like they do. And that's OK with me.
