“Lorenzo” | Phil Collins | unclassified tempo map
‘Lorenzo’s Oil’ was a film with Nick Nolte and Susan Sarandon about the same thing.
Lorenzo is the story of the true search for a cure for adrenoleukodystrophy in an oil invented by a 15 year old boy.
That boy, the child who refused to be a victim and instead became his own healer, sent lyrics to Phil Collins about his story and Phil wrote a song out of it. Phiil’s touring keyboardist the fantastically talented Brad Cole said, “Phil, these are some of the best lyrics you’ve ever written!”

“ain’t that tough enough?!” | TUFF ENUFF, the Fabulous Thunderbirds – declassified tempo map
Matherton will not reveal her favorite team. Her father, like mine, is a Giants fan, that tough enough.
My wife is a Philadelphia eagles fan of all her life.
I am a lowly N.Y. Jets fan of my life.
Hence the song ringing in the house – for my attitude, not hers!

“Never A Time” | Genesis | unclassified tempo charts
This was not surprising to hear on the day that the speed usually indicates: true bittersweetness. A sweet day that leaves a bitter aftertaste as time is a bastard. When we say goodbye to the ones we love on holidays no one ever knows when to say goodbye.
My brother asked me about the speed of this one yesterday.

INDIGO GIRLS UNCLASSIFIED TEMPO CHART – “I Call On The Resting Soul, Of Galileo, King of Night Vision, King Of Insight”
IN the late 20th century the band called the Indigo Girls wrote a brilliantly fun song about the most horribly brutal situation: Galileo, who’s “head was on the block/His crime?/Was giving up the truth.”

Matherton and me are listening to this as I type. I’m thinking : 25 year old song, better than ever. Jackie is pushing for a comparison to a live version, both to compare speed and because it’s such a darned good piece of music!

©Newman Tempo Scale By Me, July 1988, copyright Nov 16, 1992. I think it holds up as well now as when I saw it 30 years ago. I did not INVENT it – there is nothing *to be* invented! Below is a pattern of nature I saw while living as as first year law student. As I’ve written, I was trying to get gigs playing at piano bars during my time in Manhattan and despite on one night playing without mistakes by notes, on some difficult pieces, the feel in the room was unenergized and I did not know why. One night at after a 3rd ave gig, Bruce B, a drummer from the east coast said to me, “not bad dude. you almost were good with Farmer’s Trust at the end, but I think that’s because it’s a waltz and it didn’t give you time to go into your your own head making up your you own speed. I don’t know what it is with you piano players you think you can play any speed. From a drummer’s perspective, I listen to your playing. You seem like other piano players to get off on all the harmonics underneath the piano, this *huge slab of wood*, blurring the harmonics as there are three strings for every note. That makes anything you play sound interesting harmonically with all the notes playing off each other each other. YOU, dude! That is not what the audience are hearing though, man. In fact, the *first time* you miss a beat as in instead playing in time, you go into your own and rubato which nobody’s going to follow.” This is getting along the this will be part 1 of genesis of the Newman Tempo Universal Proposed Scale. I’d like to end this part of the the by saying how much I try to convince myself that Bruce was wrong and in and I went into a 6moth-8 month period complete denial about what quite simply came playing for twenty two-year that I could be on time without out a metronome to practice with.
Toy Soldiers, Martika, Rerecorded by EMINEM / harmonic tempo probabilty chart, video link
In the late 1980s the artist Martika had a ht with the song : Toy Soldiers.

Modern artists Eminem produced his own recording using a borrowed sample from the song.
E – I do not know if you are using a drug that is making your face look like you are looking weak. It’s your life, as YOU would say.
Here’s creativity compliment as to where you really got it SPOT ON. I also want to make you think about some drugs that are around that kill.
The song: WITHOUT ME. It sounds like you are bragging. Sure, if one did not know that – put it this way, if Eminem had been born [black] he would be known as the best rapper that has ever been, hands down. I have heard many more rap and hip hop songs with “black” people trying to jump on Eminem’s unique talent for a creativity in phrasing assertions that sound alike Eminem.
All is fair! Who was better Chuck Berry or The Byrds? Answer: neither one! They were both uniquely fantastic musicians.
Here’s a secret that Eminem got from The Godfather of Should, Dr. Rev the late GREAT JAMES BROWN: in a 4/4 piece of music, if you feel and know were the AND ONE (usually located earlier, as FOUR AND), you pass. There is a phrase that every musician (everyone is a musician if they want to be – a piano can be learned in a day) has etched in her or his brain:
“Always know where the ONE is. If you have that you are halfway there.” – the fantastic drummer and percussionist Carter Beauford of the Dave Matthews Band
“[If I stop and anyone in my band does not know where the ONE is, they are out of the band. Not a personal thing, man! Life happens as you HIT the one with the sweetest harmonic sound as a new melody is played on a harmonic rhythm.]” – James Brown
