Jody Kruskal Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I published my latest tune book Strange Times last summer https://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?/topic/26102-strange-times-jodys-new-tune-book/ Since then, I can’t seem to stop writing more dance tunes. Sometimes two per day. Does this malady have a name? Tune writing syndrome? Here are some of the titles in reverse chronological order, the first in this list of 28 being my most recent creation. Sun At My Back She Loved Me Cold and Wet Rug Cutting Squirrel Night In Brooklyn Ditmas Park Flatbush Polka Walking One Day Step and Hop Goodnight, Goodnight Moving Slow Tuesday's Tune Just in Time Fat Times Pleasures of Thursday Sunday's Child Squirrel Chase Thursday After Christmas New Year's Day Jigity Jog Doldrums of Christmas The Christmas Feast Boxing Day Dubious Lover Monday Lunar Quickstep Goodbye Norma Jane After Party They are all great tunes that demand to be played. When I get a few more, I’ll likely put them into a collection which I will call...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIMON GABRIELOW Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 You make me feel I am not the only one with that "syndrome".. likewise, I keep going with tunes, in writing them. If it is a syndrome then it's a wonderful one to suffer from; as every time a new idea is created, from the ether, and made possible for everyone to hear. Don't concern yourself. Instead have even more of that tune writing syndrome; as many would maybe wish they could also get the bug also so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifax Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Enjoy the Muse for as long as she stops to visit! When you think of a tune: While you make some tea, that’s an infuse muse. When you’re feeling sad, that’s a blues muse. In the grocery forgetting to pick up milk, that’s a confuse muse. And then think of the tune that follows, that’s an ensues muse. After drinking some whiskey, that’s a booze-abuse muse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GABRIELOW Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 At least it isn't that "hot cross buns tune"!😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s been many’s the time when a tune comes to me, and I really think it has possibilities, but it slips away, never to return. It’s sad. All those lost tunes that I will never remember. But now I have my smart phone. It makes a great recorder of my latest diddle. I can sing the tune into my phone by reaching across my pillow and touching it. I have done this several times, in the dark, even after my head has hit the pillow. Edited March 18, 2023 by Jody Kruskal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GABRIELOW Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 You should leave your phone on as you sleep too.. because you may still be humming away as you sleep! And could lose a few times that way Then you can play them back later on..😊😊😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the recording app on my phone is an absolute godsend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
