Thanks so much Bryan. It was such a relief that you heard the same thing. I forgot to add one more note to the puzzle. On the second chord over the E bass I hear an added 9th(F#), which would make it E E6added9 F#m7/E B/E. And I still hear the Bmaj/E not Bsus4/E. Try it Violet and let me know what you think. I am not a good musician and never will be but I still love to play. When I do I'm usually improvising, "composing". It's like a ride and you never know what's around the corner. Just plain fun and an obsession. A source of joy and frustration, and I don't know why I have to keep doing it. I believe most people who love music could write there own. I hear it in my head but have never learned to get it down before it is lost. Those that can are rare and have found a way of tapping into their creativity without any interferance. I wish I could lose that static. So is it a gift or a skill that can be learned? Or is the skill a gift? I will never be a good musician for two reasons; too lazy and stiff fingers that cramp up on me (will probably have arthritis as it runs in my family). Do you ever wonder what Kate hears when she hears her own music? I mean she is so close to every detail there may be no mystery at all. I know when I listen to Kate I'm always thinking "how did she ever think of that? Just genius." Bryan wrote: >Sorry to bore a bit more, Not boring at all to me Bryan. In fact this discussion about musicians is one of the most interesting (non-Kate topic) I've seen on this list. OK now a Kate topic: Purchased a b**t called THIS WOMAN'S WORK III. It has You Want Alchemy on it which I had never heard before, but have heard it mentioned here. Well now I feel terrible about buying the cd. When I bought the Demo's I justified it by convincing myself that Kate will never release these and if she did I would buy them again for a better quality. I know YWA was released commercially (where? BTW) but didn't think about it at the time. I just had to hear this song. It's not going to be easy but I will not do this again.;-) no really.:( Bye for now. Wayne PS. Thanks Wieland for IN PRAISE OF KATE BUSH.
