ERNIE'S SONG
This is a tune about a friend of mine, who died tragically from cocaine overdose. It may be the final tune on my "Rapish" CD. I have been working on this tune for a while, never quite satisfied with it. However, there comes a point when one must move on. It's been a challenge because the kinds of sounds the younger generation is familiar with is not in keeping with the conventions of acoustic drums and other acoustic instruments, of which I am familiar with, and understand how they work together. As a result, I have had to learn how to make the digital/electronic sounds work together. Hopefully that makes sense. Anyway, when I am done I will make CDs and give them to young people I meet. I've found giving them books is largely a waste of time and resources. Let me know what you think.

[un re] at the hospital today, one patient beside me was called Mr Mercy, and the other Ms Rivers :)
Overdose deaths are the sharpest point of the Serpent's tooth. Too many where I live. Part of the culture of death we endure.
For sure.
Interesting 🙏
