Despite its somewhat simplicity, this was very difficult to pull off recording. When I first joined V1B1N, I was looking at @Rositsa Aleksandrova 's segment on inversions, just to peek. Then I thought back to this freestyle I developed years ago in Georgia (the second portion), then another freestyle months after that first one in that year, also in Georgia (the beginning portion), and a freestyle I came up with last year here in Tulsa (end portion before the final closer). What they have in common: experimentation with inversion chords. But not just chords are inverted, but melodic lines swap octaves too sometimes, see if you can detect where 😉. Thought I'd medley them together as one full length piece. I title this: MEDLEY OF THE INVERSIONS.

🦄 I was introduced to the band Wookiefoot - and their song "Happy to Be Here" on a road trip from Colorado back to California helping my friend Juan move. 🚀 Enjoy.... I'm so happy to be here, yeah I'm just happy to be here Still, I know the world's on fire The situation's dire A lot of work and courage gonna be required, but I'm just happy to be here (yeah, yeah) I'm sure there's many versions inside this multiverse Where I put it in forward, instead of in reversal The technical skill, I neglected to rehearse Understandably landed me, handedly into a world of hurt It could be worse, I could be cursed to be Living a life, stuck on a different timeline Where I never find time to discover my path And never asked, the questions that I needed to ask Could never signed the bottom line on my soul contract (lot's of other lyrics) It's easy to lose yourself But on your darkest day, you can find your way When you've got a friend to help, and that's why I'm just happy that you're here, yeah I'm just happy that you're here And in a world gone mad and no one understands I know you'll always be around to lend your hand, so 💃🏽💥 I'm just happy that you're here (yeah, yeah)👍🏽🦄🚀 Life is pain, Highness Anyone who says differently is selling something Written by: Mark Murphy Album: Writing on the Wall Released: 2021

It's Sunday and I'm working. My resistance is poking at me, trying to get me to do something else, but I'm committed to meeting this goal and I'm almost there. It started raining here about three hours ago, and it's still steadily coming down. The sky is gray. It cooled it right down to 87 degrees, so it's comfortable outside. It has that vibe of the rainy Sunday where you just want to chill and take a nap. I often like to put on ambient music in the background just to have some cool atmospheres happening while I'm getting my work done. There's a song called "Magnificent Gallery" by Steve Roach. I have that song in a playlist of mine where the tone of the song and the way that the rain in the sky feels today just sort of hit me in my soul. It wasn't sad, necessarily. It was more like a feeling of safety of letting things go. I've had a lot of stress in my life and a lot of things that are about to change. I think I really needed this vibe today to allow myself to realign. So I'm definitely gonna be rewinding this track a couple of times today. It almost brought tears to my eyes before I knew what was going on. I guess it's a good day to release... So here's the song for anybody that wants to take a listen. https://youtu.be/NuCtcMVtMy0?si=DiaKU9JCxln8F-VQ
