Okay, admittedly, this week’s edition of Open Mic Adventures is a bit of a cop-out. Actually, a pretty big one: it’s the same song as last week’s installment, but on BASS!
As I noted last week, I originally intended “Skeleton Dance No. 1” to be a bass guitar lick, but I adapted it for piano. Here is the bass version:
And, as always, on YouTube:
Surprisingly, “Skeleton Dance No. 1” has done really well on YouTube, at least relative to my other recent videos. It’s been viewed a lot, and now the bass version is also performing well as a short. My Internet friend Goth Kilts, the proprietress of The Sandwhich Press, has made the piano version her ringtone!
I suppose I should get around to writing “Skeleton Dance No. 2,” then, yes?
Happy Listening!

It’s been fun, but I haven’t uploaded in a couple of weeks. I need to record some more little piano pieces and the like and put them up there. I’ve been playing around a LOT with some music notation software, and I want to figure out how to convert the playback of those digital scores into videos for YouTube. I think it can be done, I need just need to figure out how.

Will do. 👍
We’re both so relieved, Tina especially. I haven’t posted or replied to anything over the last week, just waiting to hear back from the hospital.
It started when Tina coughed up blood last week. I hastened to get her all the necessary checks and we finally got the good news today. As it is, Tina quit smoking last Monday and I’ve been cutting down with a view to stopping as well.
Celebrations tonight, methinks! 😂
