The Groove? A bit pretentious I thought. So here it is and it seems to be.

SAVE YOUR SOUL

This is an article about the cover art for Crossings by Herbie Hancock. Not discussed are the two "aliens". The two with the cone heads. Siriusans who visited the Dogons.

They are crossing into Europe near Gibraltar, a swim or a boat ride. during low tide This is the suppressed "western migration" that has been discredited. Because why? Because white historians don't want to acknowledge Africans as the first Homo sapiens to traverse Europe.

So I'm a pretentious research geek, and was reading an article about some of my favorite bands. Had a guitar teacher who was into Booker Little and other be boppers and I came across Sun Ra. Interesting modes and scales and a futuristic look at life. A cosmic path. 

The dude was not afraid to be weird. Or was he actually an alien? I always thought Jimi Hendrix was a god who came back to have an earthly life. So here is the song about coming back to Earth from "the age of ice" to "a world that has burned" 

So I'm reading this article and they mention Sun Ra and George Clinton and Parliament/Funkadelic.

Herbie Hancock and Gil-Scott Heron and Public Enemy. All bands in my top 20 favorite bands. Just a bit better than everything else. Turns out there is actually a music genre that encompasses these bands. Like Mysterious Traveler. 

The category is called Afro-Futurism. 

One of the unique cultures in prehistoric Egypt that developed was the so-called Khormoussan culture, named for the site of Khor Musa, near the later famed Egyptian site of Wadi Halfa. This society appeared around 45,000 years BC around Maghreb and the southern regions of the Sahara. One thing that is notable for the peoples of this culture is the slow abandonment of the desert regions, and a migration nearer to the fertile valleys of the Nile. They were nomadic, following wild herds and making temporary camps in river valleys.

So here I am studying my people living in the caves of Portugal and Solutre, France at the giant gathering place where the bones of hundreds of thousands of animals were found. 

So anyways, there weren't even any white people at that point. Maybe in the Caucasus Moutains the people who eventually migrated north and started becoming white. There had been people in Greece and Romania before the last great ice Age. Seems to have disappeared but I think they were the Proto-Celts who fled to the Iberian Peninsula.

              The Stone People of the Mediterranean.

We spent our time netting fish and harvesting fruits and collecting and saving nuts and seeds as they came into season. We were hunting reindeer, sewing together clothes with sinew, and drawing lots of groovy shit in caves, you betcha.  Clueless, stuffed museum characters staring at their naughty bits. I don’t think so. 

        Eventually, weak, insecure patriarchal religions encouraged the slicing off of vital man parts while the other crazy desert religion chopped off women’s parts. Then insist they are civilized in their Holy Rampage of Conquest.  Not funny, I know, considering all the suffering.

As I was mentioning there were many tribes north of the Sahara . It's why desertification became suddenly worse. Too many goddam goats eating every goddam thing in sight and the Sahara desert began spreading northward. Streams and rivers dried up.

So here's these wandering people in the Sahara , the Khormoussan, 45,000 years ago. Even older than the Reindeer People who lived 15 to 40 thousand years ago in Southwestern Europe. This acccording to H G Wells, who was also a historian. 

I had integrated the western out of Africa theory because it seemed plausible. I knew there was an 800 ship Navy that belong to the Malians in 1300's and there were man

What I am getting to is before the Egyptians came along, the original settlers of Northern Africa were the Malians or whatever they called themselves back then.

"many Anthropologists, Researchers and Academics, still refuse to acknowledge that Africans were the first Human colonizers of Europe. To hide this fact, they prefer to use the terms Aurignacian and Gravettian cultures; which is fine, it still means Grimaldi. However, the current fad of attributing Grimaldi artifacts to the Humanoid Cro-Magnon is in all ways, mystifying. After all, though different, Cro-Magnon like Grimaldi, was a Black African."

          So this dude above in yellow is obviously afro-centric and you know: their schtick. Africans invented everything. As bad as the white nationalists I'm trying to invalidate.

45 thousand years ago we drove those sorry ass Neanderthals out of their caves, god bless ‘em. And man, they were some dumb motherfuckers, yet they had some bodacious disease fighting genetics. I get some stern looks when I say Neanderthals are the reason Italians have hair on their back. (I’ll edit these rude bits out later, but Italians do have 4% Neanderthal compared to the European average of 1-2%. Just sayin’.)

 In this era of stolen narratives, one of the biggest thefts has been by christian nationalist malcontents and their idea about who white people are.  Well, I got me a passel of facts to hassle these asshats with, so back atcha, you betcha.

People be acting like all this anglo-saxon-germanic-scandinavian motif is what Europeans are all about. But these folks are relative newcomers compared to us Southern Europeans.  We got the paleolithic patent. 

 

The Neanderthal is part of who we are and what no one will tell you is that we are also the Grimaldi People.  

Plot twist here, who are the Grimaldi People? The proto-Grimaldi’s began their ancient journey after Toba erupted 75 thousand years ago, as the migrating Sans People from Southern Africa. Migrating north, they were dosed with the ancient alien Dogon spirituality in Northwestern Africa. 

 They then morphed into the non-Pygmy, Cro-Magnon Grimaldi People, crossing the straights of Gibraltar 65-70,000 years ago.

                    Black hobbits they were, and the reason Mediterranean men are so short. What people are unable to accept is that the Grimaldi People were the first modern homo sapiens to traverse the entirety of Iberia and southern Europe. Black people were the first modern humans to inhabit Europe, and they taught rock art to the Neanderthals as evidenced by recent findings in caves. 

    

           There was probably intense cooling for a few years after Tobas volcanic explosion 74 thousand years ago and the ash cloud circled the earth for many, many moons and the rapid regrowth of the ice caps and glaciers caused the ocean to lower for a time after Toba, exposing more land and land bridges. Crossing Gibraltar could be done with a sturdy raft and swam, if Gibraltar could be seen from the Moroccan shore. During the last Ice Age people walked during low tide and some say the Atlantic was walled off from the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean Sea evaporates much faster than other bodies of water and being isolated from the Atlantic Ocean AND the Black Sea during the great ice age, no one is certain how low the Mediterranean Sea actually went.

         I’m speculating that Solstice traditions may have begun with the ancient memory of Toba and the trauma that ensued during the aftermath, and how people did anything that they could to get the sun to return. The survivors embossed the traditions with ceremony and reverence. Greeting the sun as it returned.

We spent our time netting fish and harvesting fruits and collecting and saving nuts and seeds as they came into season. We were hunting reindeer, sewing together clothes with sinew, and drawing lots of groovy shit in caves, you betcha.  Clueless, stuffed museum characters staring at their naughty bits. I don’t think so.  

        Eventually, weak insecure patriarchal religions encouraged the slicing off of vital man parts while the other crazy desert religion chopped off women’s parts. Then insist they are civilized.  Not funny, I know, considering all the suffering.

    We need a message of unity and consensus and we’uns need to shut down abusive authoritarian nazi creeps and their lies.  

           We drove those sorry ass Neanderthals out of their caves, god bless ‘em, and man, they were some dumb motherfuckers, but they had some bodacious disease fighting genetics. I get some stern looks when I say Neanderthals are the reason Italians have hair on their back. (I’ll edit these rude bits out later, but Italians do have 4% Neanderthal compared to the European average of 1-2%. Just sayin’.)

 

 

Then, (white academic elitists) pretend to speak for the ancient people? Everything is about gods and Booga Booga, but most people chopped wood and carried water.  Could give a fuck about whatever god the preacher, priest, pastor or shaman talked about. Lifeless recreations in museums belie the fierce nature and inquisitive initiatives of our ancestors. And I do mean OUR ancestors. We are all in this together in the future. No more color or genders.  Drive the xians and xlamics back to the middle east so we can live in peace. Leave us be.

I make mistakes.

that's why I'm not a professional

Got a New Idea to work with though. 

Ten percent of musicians make enough money to live on, right?

What about the other 90%? I think they'd love an outlet for playing and I have the best forum for being inclusive of as many instruments as possible. 

All percussion is welcome on all songs.

Just stick to the beat and any particular dynamics that are BEING UTILIZED FOR THAT PARTICULAR SONG. The Beat is the Remedy.

    Keep in mind, this is rock and roll, not dinner party Kumbaya or strummy strum for Ukelele. 75 years of songs to choose from, underappreciated because SO MUCH music was coming out and we missed it.

The worst thing about starting a band is everyone brings bits and pieces of songs they know. No one knows a complete song that they can show the others. Or they waste six months arguing about a band name and direction to go in. And what their gimmick will be. Some people spend the first three practices figuring out what they can do, and often find themselves incompatible. Therefore, I’ve been a guitar hobbyist for 40 years. Just playing stuff out of my music books. Songs too difficult to play and memorize, but fun to learn.

However, I’ve spent the last 5/6 years finding simpler songs for me to play. The Arthuritis has taken its toll as it has for many others. I make too many mistakes and can’t play fast enough to be a professional and, worst of all, I’m fussy about what I want to play. EVERYONE INSISTS I HAVE TO PLAY WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR. No thank you.  

It’s said that 10% of musicians make a living at it. So, what are the other 90% doing? Probably many would like to have a community combo that they can participate in when they want to. This is what this is. Tightly managed to avoid the inevitable disagreements, but freedom to come and go as you want. The BEATRX MUSICAL SYSTEM allows for maximum musical expression amongst a community and freedom for musicians. A community's songs.

All percussion is welcome but please, remember the beat is the remedy. A strong beat not la la la strummy strum. You got a song to suggest? First ask yourself ‘have I already heard this 10,000 times on the radio?’ Then, “can I teach others to play it.” Looking for originality, not applause. 

Also, the songs stay in the order I have listed for a concept that needs to be tested. Instead of randomly jumping around to different keys, the songs progress in an ascending order of keys. Starting in Em then to E then the key of F then G. People will take a look at the song list and can see a song to try to sing or solo on, where BEATRX is playing live. And also, people can tell where they are on the list. “3 more songs and I’m singing “Call Me the Breeze. Key of A”

We got a big beat and we appeal to all sides. If we can agree on music, we can agree on other things. You’ll see what I mean. There ARE good people on both sides.  Think of us also as Song Archivists and I think there is a huge demographic out there looking for something original and refreshing to listen to, not hackneyed and overplayed like classic rock. 

The Beatles used many influences from around the world, but at their core, they were Rockabilly. The Beatles didn’t do too many covers, but more than half of them were rockabilly songs. “Honey Don’t” “Roll Over Beetoven” et al. Second generation rockabilly. They yearned to jam with Carl Perkins not Sophie Tucker.

What I do here is take songs that are really good, that maybe had an insipid, uninspired beat back in the day, and I try to liven it up. Relatively simple chord structures making them easier to remember for musicians. On the other hand not looking for the same old, same old comfort zone of people dependent on a capo or playing the overplayed corny folkie stuff. I’d rather know three different ways to play C#m7 than figure out where to put my capo to play an Am.

People with costume fetishes and gimmicks have had their day. This is a prototype musical configuration that can be used anywhere in the world to bring communities back together through music. Music is what many feel is the best healer. Music, not entertainment. People will have had enough of streaming and AI music, so the need for live music will increase and I think it will be like this. Community bands playing at non profit events etc.  

 

HERE I POST AS MUCH OF THE LYRICS    THAT I NEED TO HELP MY MEMORY

1  Tabacco Road by the Nashville Teens.  Loudermilk created the song and David Lee Roth has the best metal cover

 Nashville groove 

 About life in Durhan NC when it was Tabacco Town.

This song can be greatly expanded with solo verses.        

I was born in a trunk Mama died and my daddy got drunk  left me here to die alone
Let me hear two dying crows 2 grew up in 3 gonna leave, get a job 4 Bring dynamite and a crane

2    DRINKIN’ GASOLINE  128 indie rock

1  Well I'm driving down the road in my Cadillac Travelling lies me b, no road turning black     Drinking gasoline is a whole lotta do Drinking gasoline to get over you
We were doing swell with a short way to hell on the hill
2   Well I met you in the desert at Sabriskey point
 3 Well I drove ten thousand miles away from home
See no trap in jail, but ain't no desert spawn (solo) 

4 Engine started smoking and wings on fire

Big wheels started shaking and I lost a tyre my baby she exploded drinkin gasoline 

repeat 1

 3  F  ROCKABILLY HALL OF FAME   B side Band. The Rockabilly Hall of Fame has yet to embrace this song. Rockabilly Hall of Fame is such a fun song, but the actual Rockabilly Hall of Fame in Memphis kept deleting it when I posted it on their facebook page. Plus, I think the RHOF may also be racists with their exclusion of black people. Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry are just two prominent examples of rockabilly rockers.

I give it a more danceable beat         4/4   130

1)   We found ourselves this cool address,  In Nashville….Tennesee no less, that night at the RHOF

Won't believe the folks we saw the moment we walked through that door that night ……at the RHOF Sweet gene Vincent    F  Robert gordon   …..stray cats played those rhythm grooves, eddie Cochran didn’t stop  

 2) Posters hung op on the wall. Perkins Vincent …had a ball that night at the RHOF Johnny cash and elvis too Buddy holleys rockin through that night at the RHOF Sweet gene Vincent  did his moves F first fret  Robert gordon was red hot.stray cats played those rhythm grooves, Link wrays  ROCKIN didn’t stop and tiny riff should have solos  gENE.... Dick Dales  Cordell Jacksons  rockin didn’t stop                                                              

 3  Marty Robbins made us dance elvis held us in a trance that night at the RHOF              Wont forget the sights we saw all those rockers yelled for more. That night at the RHOF(3X)riff ending

 

4    BORN TO BE BUSHY   128

Im just a hairy boy, born deep in the hills daddy ran shine mama cooked what she killed 

he drank every day till the jar ran dry  she patched up his coat with a look in her eye aint had no schoolin no man to guide, so I taught myself how to live outside

Born to    be bushy, I live off the land cut my own wood and work with my hands    Aint hidin’ from you I just don’t belong in a world too loud and movin’ too wrong

I built me a lean to with bark and rope caught fish with my hands and cooked em on oak   learned to boil water when my gut went bad  n  sleep close to fire when the night turned mad

I started to notice when the squirrels got still       that somethin’ was movin beyond the hill

Born to be bushy, I live off the land cut my own wood and work with my  hands    Aint hidin’ from you I just don’t belong in a world too loud and movin’ too wrong

Solo verse solo verse

Sharpen the stone till it cut just right     hung up a snare where the trail looked tight   ah Aint no ghost, just don’t wanna be found  Got a pine cone pillow and a deer hide gown

I leave no tracks and I speak real low  That’s how you last when you’re livin slow

Born to be bushy, I live off the land cut my own wood and work with my own hands    Aint hidin’ from you I just don’t belong in a world too loud and movin’ too wrong  

5 Jenny Are You Gay?   128

130 syncs nice

Recalling the fifties, this song was originally “Johnny Are You Gay” but it was gender fluid enough to work when I switched the gender from Johnny to Jenny.    This song is about young people getting married to get out of their childhood homes. “My ma is a naggy parent, Jenny, won’t you set me free?”

 1    Jenny, are you gay? You're so good looking But something's in the way When I look in your eyes Oh, Jenny you mean so much to me I've waited so long for you to set me free And so I ask myself each day

2  Jenny, are you gay? You've got a real cool shirt, yeah It's tight black satin Not like the other girls, now 

  They all wear plaid and corduroy I really like your style  i wanna be your boy So I ask myself each day,  Jenny, are you gay?

(Bm)Shopping malls and station wagons Ain't a lot for a guy like me

 My ma was a naggy parent,So Jenny, won't you set me free              

Take a look into my eyes, there's lots of love for you

Tell me now, is it wrong To want to get more from you?

3  Jenny, are you gay?

I didn't see you at the ballgame I heard you gone shopping

Just you and Chesty Morgan All I want is to be close to you

C'mon, give it a try, I know you'll like it too And so I ask myself each day... 

SOLO SOLO SOLO  SOLOSHOPPING MALLS AND STATION WAGONS

Oh, Jenny, you mean so much to meI've waited so long for you to set me free

Fiddle Bango Harp Beatbox xylophone or whatever. It’s about creating a community band.  Making lots of space for different people to solo.

                                            This is what I'm talking about.           

     Connecting in a simple way with people and creating a better grade of performance because of the eschewing (to spit out in disgust) of overplayed pop music. We need to get live music out to more places than just beer drinking activities and bars. This is a rich new field to plow and we need to think of it as making music instead of a "performance" where you have to entertain. Playing where people gather. Plenty of people out there practicing their instrument or improving their voice that would want to give it a try. Here's my effort, all are welcome.

She'll guide me where the tunnels twist and bend 
She's the only one who listens when I tell her I got less than I can spend She knows the pace

 DWELL ON THE E MINOR    Oh mother of a miner's child 
Wash away the coal dust from my face (F) (C) (D)

     3    When the night shift's done She'll be waiting by the table when I come 
Searching for another dream to chase Oh mother of a miner's child 
I know that you still think about the day When we'll be movin' on 
Remember dear old Daddy and The promise that I made to carry on      
   4 Sometimes I smile In the cage where the cables softly hum 
I'd curse that old straw boss to the bone But the mother of a miner's child 
Is waiting for her paycheck to come home Come Saturday 
And he is just a miner's boy I hope that he will find a better way

4       She is my flower And she blooms for the one who loves her best 
The miners stop to watch her as she walks They know her love is not for sale 
She will never fail me 'cause I know I watched her grow 
(octave jump)And the mother of a miner's child Waits for me beside the kitchen door

Nashville country pop  120

Oh how you tried to cut me down to size Tellin' dirty lies to my friends
But my own father said give her up, don't bother The world isn't comin' to an end
(He said) Walk like a man, talk like a man Walk like a man my son
No woman's worth crawlin' on the earth So walk like a man, my son Oh, walk, walk, walk, walk
2  Oh Bye bye baby, I don't-a mean maybe Gonna get along somehow
Soon you'll be cryin' on account of all your lyin' Oh yeah, just look who's laughin' now
(I'm gonna) Walk like a man, fast as I can Walk like a man from you
I'll tell the world forget about it, girl And walk like a man from you

18   DON’T DREAM ITS OVER   120 groove

There is freedom within, there is freedom without 
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup 
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost 
But you'll never see the end of the road While you're traveling with me

Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now 
When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win

2 Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof  My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof 
In the paper today tales of war and of waste  But you turn right over to the T.V. page

Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win

3  Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart 
Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us Don't ever let them win Songwriters: Neil Finn

 You're too good to me Fill me up when my glass looks empty

You always try to see A better version of me

I'm never waiting Cause I know that you'll always make it

And I can't take it You're just too calculated It's you or me who breaks it all I can barely face it

It's you or me who takes the fall And I can barely take it

NOW GET QUIET FOR THIS TO HEAR CHORDS CLEARLY>

So I'm gonna hurt I'm gonna hurt you first I'm gonna hurt

I'm gonna hurt you first I'll be the one to make you cry

I'll be the one who gets to decide Oh I'm gonna hurt you first

 [Verse 2]

Are you guilty? Is there a secret that you're hiding?

Princess charming Yeah it's all a case of timing

Can you blame me? For protecting myself baby You're too perfect Too perfectly orchestrated

[Pre-Chorus]

It's you or me who breaks it all I can barely face it

It's you or me who takes the fall And I can barely take it

So I'm gonna hurt I'm gonna hurt you first I'm gonna hurt I'm gonna hurt you first

I'll be the one to make you cry I'll be the one who gets to decide

Oh I'm gonna hurt you first

[Verse 3] Gonna make you cry Gonna say goodbye I'm gonna say good...

Gonna make you cry Uhhh IT WOULD BE NICE Try to say goodbye Gonna hurt you first

I'm gonna hurt you first I'm gonna hurt you first

I'm gonna make you cry I'll be the one to make you cry

I'll be the one who gets to decide Oh I'm gonna hurt you first

191    BLUE BOAT HOME by Peter Mayer*

Drone  on the E note     I had to switch out my first song. I wanted to start out with Blue Boat Home. A Unitarian Universalists theme song. They don't discriminate any faith, and this song is easily embraced by spiritual seekers. But the 6/8 beat still needs practice and I can't seem to memorize enough of the lyrics. So I made Drinkin' Gasoline as the first song so I don't stumble out of the gate.

 I did want to introduce this idea at the UU Church first. A community band? If there is a Ukelele Club, surely there can be a Rockabilly Club so people can rock and roll. SO that is honestly my intention. I want to try it at church first and we could make Blue Boat Home the opening number with a little luck. And remember. we would be making music, not preparing for a performance, yet also not unorganized jam sessions. I was thinking the last Wednesday of the month at 2:30 and we need to be gone by 4:00. I try to have my short weeks work done by then.

6/8 TIME BRO

Though below me, I feel no motion Standing on these mountains and plains
Far away from the rolling ocean Still my dry land heart can say
I’ve been sailing all my life now Never harbor or port have I known
The wide universe is the ocean I travel And the Earth is my blue boat home

Sun my sail and moon my rudder As I ply the starry sea,
Leaning over the edge in wonder,
Casting questions into the deep.
Drifting here with my ship’s companions,
All we kindred pilgrim souls,
Making our way by the lights of the heavens
In our beautiful blue boat home

I give thanks to the waves upholding me
Hail the great winds urging me on,
Greet the infinite sea before me,
Sing the sky my sailor’s song:
I was born upon the fathoms,
Never harbor or port have I known.
The wide universe is the ocean I travel,
And the Earth is my blue boat home

Amber called her uncle, said "We're up here for the holiday,

 G               C               Am              D             D

Jane and I were having Solstice, now we need a place to stay."

     G                  C               Am              D

And her Christ-loving uncle watched his wife hang Mary on a tree,

    Em                  C               Am                D           D

He watched his son hang candy canes all made with red dye number three.

    G                      C               Am               D

He told his niece, "It's Christmas Eve, I know our life is not your style,"

     G                        C                Am                D           D

She said, "Christmas is like Solstice, and we miss you and it's been awhile,"

 

         G                 C           Am             D

So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table,

 G                 C                 Am                 D

Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,

    Em              C                Am                  D

And just before the meal was served, hands were held and prayers were said,

 Em               C                Am                 D  G

Sending hope for peace on earth to all their gods and goddesses.

 

     G                   C                    Am                D

The food was great, the tree plugged in, the meal had gone without a hitch,

      G               C               Am                D              D

Till Timmy turned to Amber and said, "Is it true that you're a witch?"

     G                 C                   Am                D

His mom jumped up and said, "The pies are burning," and she hit the kitchen,

    Em                C                    Am                  D            D

And it was Jane who spoke, she said, "It's true, your cousin's not a Christian,"

     G                  C                   Am                  D

"But we love trees, we love the snow, the friends we have, the world we share,

     G               C                Am            D           D

And you find magic from your God, and we find magic everywhere."

 

         G                 C           Am             D

So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table,

 G                 C                 Am                 D

Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,

    Em               C                  Am             D

And where does magic come from? I think magic's in the learning,

                    Em                  C           Am               D  G

'Cause now when the Christians sit with Pagans only pumpkin pies are burning.

 

      G              C                 Am                   D

When Amber tried to do the dishes, her aunt said, "Really, no, don't bother."

 G             C             Am                  D              D

Amber's uncle saw how Amber looked like Tim and like her father.

     G                 C               Am             D

He thought about his brother, how they hadn't spoken in a year,

   Em                    C                 Am                 D              D

He thought he'd call him up and say, "It's Christmas and your daughter's here."

   G                   C                  Am              D

He thought of fathers, sons and brothers, saw his own son tug his sleeve, saying,

G           C                  Am               D               D

"Can I be a Pagan?" Dad said, "We'll discuss it when they leave."

 

       G                  C            Am            D

So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table,

G                 C                 Am                  D

Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,

Em                 C                 Am                D

Lighting trees in darkness, learning new ways from the old, and

The IconOclastics. BeatRX. BEATRX

   Everyone in bands these days has "personality" and silly costumes and images to uphold and a “brand” to sell. I want to create, not perform, to play not but alas, after 40 years of hobby guitar I want to create an alternative to the same old shit. A performance vehicle for introverts, a community of artists. Songs are our vocal heritage. Beatrx featuring Iconoclastics. Iconoclastics.

THE BEATRX MUSICAL SYSTEM.

              Fiddle Bango Harp Beatbox xylophone or whatever. It’s about creating a community band. Or orchestra. This is what I'm talking about.   It's a community thing too, connecting in a simple way with people and creating a better grade of performance because of the eschewing  (to spit out in disgust) of overplayed pop music, a rich new field to plow.  All the breakup and falling in love pop HITS seems to have caused the plague of infidelity in this nation.
