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. 75 years of songs to choose from,
underappreciated because SO MUCH music was coming out 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.
All percussion is
welcome but please, remember the beat is the remedy. 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”
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.””
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. Think of us also as Song Archivists and I think there
is a huge demographic out there looking for something original and refreshing,
not hackneyed and overplayed. The silent majority enduring the endless love
songs and maudlin sentimentality..
I have made lots of
room for bluegrass type of verse solo, verse solo. Harmonica would probably
work on a lot of songs as would fiddle solos.
We have 75 years of rock and roll to choose from, but the songs on the
radio have a very limited variety. No album cuts. So uncool.
I might say this is a
Rockabilly Club but not in the cliched way. Where Rockabilly meets Americana
that meets traditional music with a Metal beat. Back to the time when Rockabilly became
rock and roll.
We’re not talking
clothes fetish either. You can be rockabilly without the Halloween costume, you
know what I mean?
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.
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. We want to make some authentic American music to preserve good songs,
forgotten album cuts, or songs never heard. Give old, tired songs a beat
treatment.
HERE I
POST AS MUCH OF THE LYRICS THAT I NEED
TO HELP MY MEMORY
theoretically I should be able to
use my phone to play
1 Tabacco Road by the Nashville Teens.
John D 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
1 Well I'm driving down
the road in my Cadillac Travelling lies me by a 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 SIMPLE 130 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
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 tinyriff should have solos hereall of themhrous sWEET
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
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
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
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?
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

4 Jenny,
are you gay? I saw you dancin' techno The way you move to the beat It’s
supernatural
Oh, Jenny,
you mean so much to meI've waited so long for you to set me free
An so
I ask myself each day, Jenny, are you gay
Fiddle Bango Harp Beatbox xylophone or whatever. It’s about
creating a community band. 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.
Plenty of people out there practicing their instrument or improving their voice
that would want to give it a try.

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

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

So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at

"But we love trees, we love the snow, the

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.
Then there’s the repetition. Songs I liked the first
10,000 times I heard them, but now it’s like, enough already!
We hear the same 30 songs
over and over with classic rock, when the catalog for these 30 bands included
well over 1000 songs. Where's the rest of them? Let's bring back songs that have stood the
test of time. Bring back good songs that didn’t get ?. Truthfully the
repetition on the radio has lulled Americans to sleep. Many have nuanced their
playlists but those people are always looking for new songs to groove on.
First, 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. No squares daddio, no comfort zone here, we're looking for good but not popular songs that need an update. No insipid clingy beats. Here is the current playlist.

BEATRX ICONoCLASTICS iconOclastics BEATRX - YouTube My drumming beats I use near the songs in the same order as above
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.
Basically, I'm trying to stick with American music to preserving the good songs and forgotten album cuts, or songs never heard. And you do you. If you need comfort zone, overheard songs, then start your own combo. We want to rock and put a good beat to good songs.
One important thing about the Beatrx musical system is that there is one person in the group that knows all the songs completely. Or has the proper prompts nearby and not forgetting to give old, tired songs a beat treatment with, knowing it completely with a beginning and ending.
Our folk tales for future generations.

I don't know what it is that makes me love you so I only knew I never want to let you go
You started something, can't you see? And ever since we met, you've had a hold on me
It happens to be true I only wanna be with you
INTRO PATTERN
[Verse 2]It doesn't really matter what you say or do I want to spend each moment, any day with you
Look what has happened with just one kiss I never knew that I could be in love like this
It's crazy but it's true I only wanna be with you
[Bridge] You stopped and smiled at me And asked me if I cared to dance
I fell into your open arms And I didn't stand a chance
[Verse 3}SOLO
VERSE 4 I don't know what it is that makes me love you so I only knew I never want to let you go
You started something, can't you see? And ever since we met, you've had a hold on me
It happens to be true I only wanna be with you
[Bridge]
You stopped and smiled at me And asked me if I cared to dance
I fell into your open arms And I didn't stand a chance
[Verse 5] Now, listen honey I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
Cause you started something, can't you see? Ever since we met, you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do I only wanna be with you
No matter, no matter what you do
There's the first 8 songs. Call it a set.
EVERYONE INSISTS I HAVE TO PLAY WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR.
No thank you. Not a trained monkey and I'm going to do what I can while I still can.
So here is the crux of the Bisquit. It’s said that 10% of musicians make a living at it. The big question is this: what are the other 90% doing? I'm thinking, many of them 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, so no one feels pressured or obligated. The BEATRX MUSICAL SYSTEM allows for maximum musical expression amongst a community, and freedom for musicians.
All percussion is welcome but please, remember the beat is the remedy. This is not a comfort zone for Boomers. Neither is it a safe space where the maudlin sentimentality of Pop music is glorified. I'm trying to revive songs that had a lame ass beat back in the day or re-invent some really good songs that are sounding outdated. Studiously avoiding the same old same old we've heard on the radio for decades.
I found with the arthuritis I can't play the 13th+5 chords anymore, so I find songs with some potential for heavy power chords. Fifth's they're called. I try to blend bluegrass, rockabilly and Metal.
You got a Ukelele club, then surely a Rockabilly Club can be created. 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?" No one wants homework and our underlying theme is NO CLICHES.
Not practicing for a performance but simply making music. We can have a general assembly to vote in songs to add. Songs in the on deck circle are listed later. We can all vote to add songs but I have to be able to play it so it can't be too complicated. You'll find the songs I chose are relatively easy to learn but not repetitive 1 4 5 songs about drinking and stupid shit.
In the BEATRX musical system one person knows all the songs. Songs have a beginning and an end. Instrumental solo verses are real easy to add with the songs I have found for anyone that shows up to jam. Bring something to the table.
My particular concept aside from song selection is 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, as per the usual, the songs progress in an ascending order of keys. The first song is in Em and the next is in E, then songs in the keys of F then G are next. Then the next song is in A.
For me the fun is in learning the song. Finding a way to modernize the beat. Let's take this raw song. "Hooked on a Feeling" Boomers heard it a thousand times on the radio. I already got a list of fifty songs, then I hear 'hooked on a feeling' has a Quintessential, floating and sinking, chromatic progression so I got the chords just below. That and Born to be Bushy.
So I came across a tutorial on diminished and augmented cords and she began by showing the grand progression. C C/B C/Bb F/A Fm/Ab c/G D/F#. So I look up the song and Ultimate guitar has an easy transposing method. So it was in G and I converted it to "C"

14 Mother of a Miners Child
1 she is my flower (waits for me beside the
kitchen door) 2 She is my light (wash away the coal dust from my face)
3 SOLO 4 When the night shifts done
(and the promise I made to carry on) 5 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
miners child is waiting for her paycheck to come home come saturday (he is just
a miners boy, I hope that he will find a better way

I've crossed a million mile void just to be here tonight with you
REMEMBER Eb E Bb E
3 added sedative effect measures lose their meaning sleep wins and
then I start to dream 1 I was walking through the night when i heard something
call was it a deathly scream of fright or was it nothing at all
2 So up the path i went f and now I know what it meant a new
shipment had come by rail
3 There I was in a strange place I had no voice
at all I couldn’t see very far in front of me
4 Connecting parts control of them now they rule themselves
5 Electric beam brings hand to life then it moves a way
fight another world war our only human function

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
