    Oh me oh my, what a delight. Here is a new Episode for your earsies!
    We warm up in the Key of A Major, and we sing Moaning and Wailing, 
    and then we sing a song in 5 4 about Rocky Creek. 
    Love it!
    Thanks for Listening!
    xx

    Rocky creek, you're so sweet, All that rain, all that sky, 
    Rocky creek, quiet game, Platypus oh my my
    CHORUS: Oh my my, oh my my, oh my my, oh my my x2
    hmmm
    Thats all. 
    The Northern Rivers Conservatorium approached me to write a fundraising song. I found myself reflecting on my year studying there — running barefoot between classes, learning music theory and discovering my voice as a musician.

    40. Spin around this Earth with a Diminished Chord

    Hiya, Im running off to teach workshops and singing and schoirs at a singing and dance retreat in Byron Bay. So Fun! And Im squeezing this episode in before I go!

    We sing these words:
    With these chords: 
    || G             | %             | E dim                | %             |
    | D              |        %      | G                       | %             ||
    It’s all right here, 
    just close your eyes and see, 
    I don’t know the gravity, 
    That keeps you holding on to me, 
    I’ll spin around this earth, 
    I’ll hold on to all the dirt, 
    I’ll find my way through, 
    and make it back to you.  

    a Diminished Triad Chord is a 1 flat 3, flat 5. 
    This is a tricky thing to chat about, because there exists a fully diminished and half diminished seven chord, but for here, I'm just talking about the Triad chord. Just the three notes. 
    Thanks so much for listening!
    Lotsa Love!

    Hi there, thanks for listening!
    We sing about procrastination. It's all rainy and moody, and my heart says relax but my brain knows it time to sing. 
    Off we go!
    We sang Procrastination in G, going up to the minor 3 chord, the 4 chord and getting to the 5 chord every now and then. 
    Then we head on to the Mixolydian Mode. 
    5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5. 
    Or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, flat 7 8. 
    I'm playing the chords C Major and Fminor. 

    Thanks heaps for listening. 
    Thats all.
