Subject: RE: BS: Ever steal a tune, accidentally??
Once in a while I would get a melody in my head but never do anything with it. I always thought, "Wouldn't it be great to just pick and choose musical phrases from a bunch of different songs, cut and paste, and VOILA! A new song." About two years ago I thought I had a really good chord progression and melody going until I realized I was re-writing "Simple Twist of Fate." Now I come to find out cutting and pasting may not be so bad. Well, gotta run. I have a great idea for a song. It's going to be called "The Dimpled Wrist of Tate."
