so I don’t suppose anyone heard me fucking up Bowie’s Andy Worhol, but I happened to listen to the album maybe three weeks ago and heard the riff again, first time in decades and heard how wrong I’d got it - and I still don’t have the gene or a musician’s brain, because it has taken all these days for me to figure how to do it, how to remove the pause I had inserted in the middle of it. It’s sort of amazing watching yourself be so challenged, what happens when you just don’t have the firmware for something, while whatever part is watching seems to be working OK. 😳🫣

I had two little runs in my mind that needed to be one longer one, and it was like pulling teeth trying to do it. It’s simple addition , put the two numbers together (or simple
subtraction, don’t do what I was doing in the middle of the run), and it took me weeks. 🙄😠

A hard one to memorize too, the chords are not any trope I know, they’re not intuitive. I’ve finally got the verses, found some sense to remember, but the chorus still seems like just random memorization, and I’ve never been any good at that.
