Jay Ashby Is Simply A

Why Am I So Soft In The Middle When The Rest Of My Life Is So Hard?

Just Slip Out The Back, Jack, Make A New Plan, Stan, You Don't Need To Be Coy, Roy, Just Get Yourself Free. Hop On The Bus, Gus, You Don't Need To Discuss Much, Just Drop Off The Key, Lee, And Get Yourself Free.

Being An Artist Doesn't Mean That You're A Good Artist. That Was The Bargain I First Made With Myself: I'd Say, I'm An Artist, But I'm Not Really Very Good.

Artie Is A Singer, And I'm A Writer And Player And A Singer. We Didn't Work Together On A Creative Level And Prepare The Songs. I Did That.

Instead Of Thinking In Terms Of Chords, I Think Of Voice-leading; That Is, Melody Line And Bass Line, And Where The Bass Line Goes. If You Do That, You'll Have The Right Chord. [these Voices] Will Give You Some Alternatives, And You Can Play Those Different Alternatives To Hear Which One Suits Your Ear. Keep The Bass Line Moving So You Don't Stay In One Spot: If You Have An Interesting Bass Line And You Roll It Against The Melody, The Chords Are Going To Come Out Right.
