Did you ever ask a question and the answer was all good stuff but it was an information overload? Too Much Info, Dude! TMI! Um, yeah. This actually is a simple little chant funk tune but the fun comes in knowing when to double the stretches of nothing but the funk groove, how many times you repeat each section before you transition, etc. I finally found the best wayto get it was just listening to Average White Band do it over and over. I thought since this comic has a drowning theme I would fool around with watercolors. What a fool I am! Maybe better luck next time.

Kind of a cool effect.
When I sing church hymns I get totally lost half the time because I don't read music. It doesn't help that the songs aren't in my mother tongue.
What are they in Mel, Greek? or are they in English and it's not your first language.
I know you can't tell by looking at my site but my first language is English. 🙂
Personally, I think the watercolor effect worked out nicely. I like how you will try different media in order to capture a mood or an effect. I need to push myself like that.
Great watery lines when she's sinking, and the bubble goes beyond the frame, like real life. I like the part where "everybody yells here".
Everybody really does yell there. But as you know you'd feel a damn fool if you yelled after only 4 bars and you were supposed to wait 8. Except for the third time when you wait 8, then stick in a whole different section, than do four THEN do the yell. I THINK.
The watery effect and wavy lines work quite well.
Too much info for some is often not enough for others.
He lost me after he said "Oh that's just…"
The final frame looks like a classy water-colour painting, nice effect, well done Colleen.
I can so relate to the sinking. That is me in the last frame. Just saying.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
Does average white band know they have a black drummer and a guy who wears a kilt. Not average in my mind.
If you ever went to Scotland, kilts are like naked people. For about the first 15 minutes you're like OMG, and then they seem perfectly normal. I played in a band where our lead guitar player wore a kilt, I liked it so much I even wrote a whole piece on kilts — what I find bothersome is the guy in AWB with the white jacket where one side hangs down lower than the other but honestly this footage is from like 1974 or so, so I really can't take any responsibility for it.
Loved the vid i have never seen them play this live before but this bit made me laugh
but honestly this footage is from like 1974 or so, so I really can’t take any responsibility for it. LOL
Have a great weekend and thank you for your visits and your witty comments 🙂
Dear Colleen, Thanks for stopping by my blog. I enjoy you blog very much. I hope that you like my recipes. Have a wonderful day. Blessings, Catherine xo
I'm sending this to my wife… She's a music major.
That's exactly how I feel in my Harmony and Musicianship classes sometimes.
The stuff that's already on the leadsheet (i.e. the chords & written repeats) I can sus. He doesn't need to say this is I VI II V– that's already there. (Actually Pick up the Pieces is not I VI II V but that's a bit of good sounding music jargon) It's the stuff he that's not written, like the third ending, and the fact that the breaks are not all 8 bars like it says. How am I supposed to know that unless I already know the piece (in which case I wouldn't need a frickin' leadsheet!) and when he mixes it up in this big wall of words its like just STFU AGGGGGHHH!!!!!
Sometimes, when it comes to playing in a band, it's easier to show than to tell 🙂
One of my better memories is being told after a live gig in a pub in Ballyfermot that our punk version of the Beatles' "Fool on the Hill" was "as good as the fuckin' Ramones!" But that must be thirty years ago now *sigh* …
Ballyfermot? No shit? It was a bit of a rough hood back in the 80's when we lived in Dublin, but by now it's probably all gentrified.
I'm doing well to know "FACE" and "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge." Great music!
"Average White Band" made me smile.
Yeah, the water color effect was definitely working here 🙂 When I first started seeing patients, I learned that giving out too much info about their treatment is a bit overwhelming. I need to do it in moderation 🙂
