Monday, May 16, 2011. The tortured artist syndrome. From the outside it all looks simple and I am sure that 'normal' people - ie those who don't have pretensions to leaving the workaday behind and being a full time musical artiste - get tired of hearing artists, musicians, actors etc complaining about how hard their jobs are. I,myself, have, on occasions, also got exasperated by the drama queens. Everyone wants your ass for something and it always has to be done now. When I get home, what I really need t...

MarkGrestyMusic: Whys and wherefores. Part 2

http://www.markgresty.blogspot.com/2011/05/whys-and-wherefores-part-2.html

Friday, May 6, 2011. Whys and wherefores. Part 2. With a longish story like this one where you have event and attitude to compress into the song, not to mention, comment, it's all about economy - what you leave out and how much you can suggest in how few words. Of course, I made a silly mistake myself, well, more of an oversight really, which I constantly forestall people's noticing by mentioning it myself when I play it live. Dates and coconuts don't grow in the same places! Blues For Billy Strayhorn.

MarkGrestyMusic: April 2011

http://www.markgresty.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, April 30, 2011. No man is an island. Just to clear up a few loose ends in the matter of songwriting and allied areas, the question arises, 'What do you do when you get stuck and can't solve any one of the many little problems that arise in song-writing? We all need a fall-back position and someone on your bench, as they say in the US, is very handy, if only to talk out those problems and talk yourself into finding the answer - which is what often happens. Or 'Where can I go from this sequence?

MarkGrestyMusic: Where do they come from?

http://www.markgresty.blogspot.com/2011/04/where-do-they-come-from.html

Tuesday, April 26, 2011. Where do they come from? In a response to this series of blogs, I was asked to write something about songwriting, the process, the inspiration etc. So, ever grateful for the attention, here goes. How many times have you read an interview with some celebrated songwriter and the subject is asked how s/he writes. After a period of due modesty, out come those bloodcurdling words, 'I don't know where they come from, the songs just flow through me'! You are just a conduit for the muse!

MarkGrestyMusic: Whys and wherefores - the songs on 10 cents above a beggar - pappadom songs

http://www.markgresty.blogspot.com/2011/05/whys-and-wherefores-songs-on-10-cents.html

Monday, May 2, 2011. Whys and wherefores - the songs on 10 cents above a beggar - pappadom songs. I have been asked to write about the songs on this, my first commercially available cd. I don't know whether this is really that. Interesting but it's a dull afternoon and the appeal to my vanity is irresistible. So, in order then. But the other he had no idea about. I came up with lyrics for both - after much cajoling - and sent them to him but nothing happened. Though I didn't ask my partner's family about...
