"She will never learn the most necessary, most difficult and principal thing in music, that is time, because from childhood she has designedly cultivated the habit of ignoring the beat." Letter to Leopold Mozart (24 October 1777)
The death of LeRoi Moore in August 2008 was a terrible blow that still ripples through the music community and thus the earth community and entropy generally.

Thank goodness he was alive to create grooves that could not even be named at the time of his death at the age of 48 from at ATV bike in Virginia.
Imagine, John Lennon, declassified tempo probability chart
The song Imagine by the late John Lennon was recorded with the speed asymptotic to 76 bpm.
When people play this too fast, it has the odd character of sounding sadder.
Hence the surreal oddity of the Frenchman imitating the song in CRUEL irony after a mass gun death during a Western-based harmonies, AFRICAN-BASED RHYTHM show, otherwise known as “popular” and “rock” music concert while playing it so fast it was to some “oddly gauche” (Variety).
I agree with the gauche comment, especially as the fine American composer and performer James Taylor kept his speed below the asymptote of 76 bpm💙
Handle With care Was My Favorite song ever with Tom Petty In it. The song features Jeff Lynne, the late Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, the last George Harrison as THE TRAVELING WILBURYS.

The chart and the video reflect a performance of the song as a due with the fabulous Tim Reynolds, a de facto member of the Dave Matthews band the moment LeRoi went his great gig in the sky in that tragic summer of 2008.
Lover Lay Down is a song written by Dave Matthews that first was available for legal sale on the Dave Matthews Band’s album ‘Under The Table And Dreaming’.

“Tomorrow Never Knows” (128). Slightly faster tempo, similar insane, lurching drum beat. Completely different mood, I know. But the beats sort of line up, in a weird way.
From “Notes on the ravings of Jim Deluva”, now that Jim has left New Jersey and is working in undisclosed location #22.
I told him that I was working on trying to get the drummer in my “too old to get on stage” garage band as it beats working out in a gym, pounding tom-toms!
The words of James came after the suggestion that if Ticket To Ride by the Beatles precedes a song, and he could play the next song, or decide which song to play in a band like Daryl Hall and friends
“Ticket To Ride”. The drumbeat is INSANE. It lurches and never locks into a straight groove until the bridge, where it starts and stops again. It isn’t exactly in the pocket – I.E.: it would be difficult to notate those tom-tom upbeats.
Personally, I would segue into “Tomorrow Never Knows” (128). Slightly faster tempo, similar insane, lurching drum beat. Completely different mood, I know. But the beats sort of line up, in a weird way.
No one speaks with both the authority and open-mindedness of a Deluva while you know he may be thinking, “Dude, how did they even let you into this studio!”
Given his unduly harsh reputation, I asked him when he left his Princeton if he would lend his expertise to a website where his knowledge would give me some ideas to work with that would give my ideas wider use.
Someone has 65000 + images stolen from me. Hope you smile at yourself in the mirror! Hope ya sleep well!
Self-control is the most important part of your life when those in power and those who feel powerless are letting their emotions drown out logical, linear rational thought.
