"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)
Similarly and parallel to The Young and the Restless’ Adam, The Bold And the Beautiful is featuring a plot right out of a Hitchcock film or “Presents.”

The difference of course is in that what daily drama series relies on: we, the viewer, have no idea when the story is ever ending, or if it is ever ending. Unlike knowing a movie is two hours, and knowing a book ends on the last page, daytime drama, could, Tootsies-style, stop on a proverbial dime. It could also go on another thousand years. Even Shakespeare wrote in soap opera form. Charles Dickens honed his craft on: the soap operas of his time. A Tale Of Two Cities was one of many books originally written as “soap operas.”
When James “Jim” Deluva comes back to New Jersey, secretly, a full month before Christmas, one knows everything with the reclusive genius producer, code name Jim Deluva, things are going to get interesting on Route 1, from the ping pong halls of Douglass to the biology library at one Princeton’s freshman dorms.

Turns out James is doing a favor for a friend of his, a comparative literature professor who is having a party where the cover band skills of Deluva are featured. He can play anybody, no one knows who he is – always a great time.

The challenge as James strolled up the driveway was issued as he strolled up in an Adidas sweatsuit – “Kodachrome” by Paul Simon. I have the sheet music for that song but it just read “moderate rock” – show me the real tempo map for that. It’s not their wedding song, but she’s a Simin freak – so I’d appreciate it.”
“Kodachrome! What a generation bewitched song that is. If you even know what that is-? Aren’t you are aging yourself?”

They often are not as pretty as some of the haircuts that Senator Gore has sported=, especially in the 1992 fight for the Democratic nomination.
A lot of women would say at Genesis concerts: “Follow You You, Follow Me” is my favorite sing by this band. Men liked it because in the days that we Genesis fans brought girls to shows in the 1970s-2007, well, we knew we were labeled as “Dorks beyond…”
Follow You, Follow Me is a song Genesis wrote for their album AND THEN THERE WERE THREE. The reason for the title was that The Five member band had lost Peter Gabriel, who, uh, did pretty well on his own – in 1974. Peter’s family had an illness within and he had no moral choice but to leave the band. In Nicholas Nassim Taleb’s construction of a Black Swan event, Peter Gabriel’s solo career, beginning from the new sound that *popped* out of his first albums, and Peter’s creativity shows no sign of waning.

Both Gabriels’s and Genesis’ career [American grammar] along with Phil Collins’ career meet the theory I made up with no authority at all. It is called the The Edmund Fitzgerald rule (“TWOTEFR”). The surviving families of the Edmund Fitzgerald honored Mr. Lightfoot by asking him personally to write a song commemorating the twenty-nine lives that were lost on the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
I have never met Gordon en persona, yet musically, I was lucky enough to hear the song in my wife’s hometown of Philadelphia. Dr. Lightfoot played the same 12 string throughout most of his show, including TWOTEFR. My inductive hypothesis that might be garbage That song, in my opinion could ONLY have been written by Mr Lightfoot. I had to be (or not, I am a huge Nassim Nicholas Taleb reader, and I know I’m on thin ice here).
Gordon’s monologue continues, “I was flattered when they came to me and asked me to write an elegy like about the incident. When I first played it, I had no idea how they react. I was as nervous as I’d ever been but I can say that their appreciation is something that nothing in my career could ever surpass. I am always honored to play this song.”
The Gordon Lightfoot Rule needs a quick example: after a show in the 1980s Bob Dylan is known to have said something that is key example of TWOTEF rule – “[Sometimes after a show I think about having played a song as Like A Rolling Stone, and I say this not to brag, it just is. I think: did I actually write that song?” Meaning, simply, again, a song that the Black Swan Axiom notwithstanding, had to be. So it is not a rule as a law – it is an opinion in artistic taste. We are most careful here! I know you are if you have read this far.

Norm was inside the inside the business. He had a word of wisdom in regard to *any* good piece of music, especially popular songs:
“The song has *got* to have a different, new bass-line.”

The best co-writer I ever worked with was Norman Dozier. Real name.
Norm was inside the inside the business. He had a word of wisdom in regard to *any* good piece of music, especially popular songs:
“The song has *got* to have a different, new bass-line.”
Who am I to ever question Norman? I cannot say enough about the positive influence he had on me and New York City in general. I especially thank the organist Mollie Nichols for introducing me to and arranging the playing of new music written mostly by me.
So said: the orchestration was all Norm, and the orchestration of our version of Psalm 113 squeaked in the morning service with Bach, Vaughn Williams and others I have no right to name drop. Norm helped fit our hymn in the genre of modern classical. I have total respect for the rock n roll night services and the amplifiers and drums and keyboard samples – anything that flies your plane – but not at a Sunday morning 10:30 Episcopal service – for my taste.
