Discords are the heart of chord-based western music

Now there's a categorical statement if I ever heard one. I am ploughing through my Beatles songbook, and keep running across recurring chord patterns with anywhere from a dash to an onslaught of chords they use together that make tension and enhance the melody and open the door to such a Beatle-esq form of harmony they were so good at. I also added the North American version of Rubber Soul to my complete album repertoire. Michelle naturally is/was the biggest challenge.

I texted my Sweet Thing with the customary good night message about 10'ish last night then my mind was racing too much as it has a tendency to do, so I got up and worked out on the guitar until close to 1AM on Rubber Soul. For some reason that vinyl made a mark on me when I first heard it in my late teens then not long after meeting ST, her Mom Marsha gave it to me on CD for a birthday present. Interestingly enough one of the songs on the second side gave Ben K. great pleasure as it rang a bell with him the first time he heard the CD in my van and when I played I'm Looking Through You on the Beneteau.

Off to Bilo's (I think) for morning sustenance, then some of a walk. I had some traditional grub at Blue Drops yesterday and what a difference the Ethiopia touch makes. Liverpool plays Arsenal tomorrow at 6:30PM and I wouldn't miss it. If only Dudley could see me now; I think he would be proud.
