Musical Composition Driven By Broken Keys

Tried some solo piano earlier because ... pianos.  It was surprisingly non-sucky.  F minor happens a lot with me ... because one of the A keys is busted.

Um, yep, inspiration isn't coming from the cosmos but rather one busted key.  That, for me, is even more cosmic and it kind of delights me it's busted.  I still don't get why people hate playing in F.  Lots of black keys??

Note:  nah, that's not some back-handed racist flim flam, the black keys are wee bit harder than the white ones.

The bit was not recorded but that's ok.  The bits won't be forgotten and the specifics within the chords vary but the sequence of them is satisfying and that won't be forgotten.  It won't be a trouble to play it again in some kind of way and conceivably use that as an intro for something else in which I also start on F minor.

I probably know about music theory than I believe I know but ... it don't matter to me ...

because ...

because ...

it don't mean a thing, if it don't got that swing

do wop do wop do wop do wop

(The bit is not a swing thing but that's ok, I like it)
