Troy unlocked the Pandora’s Box for me a few nights ago when showing me how major keys in music work and what chords sound good together.
In some ways, it is some information that I knew along (ie, what chords sound good together), but never realized there’s an actual science/math reason behind it.
With this, I wrote a song in honour of Stompin’ Tom the other night which is a great tribute to the legend. After reading his biography as well as a biography on the Beatles, I realized that music isn’t supposed to be all serious-like. It’s about writing about anything you want, like the gum stuck to the bottom of the shoe!
Now that the knowledge in my head has increased, I anticipate quite a few new songs coming out of my head.
Thanks to you Troy! You don’t know what you’ve released.
