2020 Markley&Balmer Concerts, Thursdays, 8:30 PM EDT, FB Live at Lisa Markley Page

Posted on October 7, 2020 by bruce Posted in What's New .

Hi Everybody,

Year-End 2020 Update:  Lisa and I continue to perform regular FaceBook Live Concerts online, on Thursday evenings at 8:30 PM EST. This is usually broadcast from Facebook Live at Lisa’s Lisa Markley page, sometimes from my Bruce Balmer page for my Solo shows.  We celebrate Standards&Covers, Markley&Balmer Anniversary Concert, Thursday, October 8th, 8:30 PM EDT, FB Live at Lisa Markley Page.

I had fun with The Grandpa Bruce Show; I’ve discontinued it because I can’t give it the attention it deserves. I have some ideas and will post as they become Calendar items.  (These occurred Sundays at 11 AM: kids songs, sometimes my songs; we’ve sharpened a chisel, split firewood, looked at trees in the yard, read fairy tales from children’s books.

I also have a PayPal account, for those who care to donate:  www.paypal.me/brucebalmer For those who have donated and would like to be on my Bruce Balmer email list, leave me a note with your donation at paypal.

So that’s it, we’ll keep something coming at you;  meanwhile, we’re practicing and getting ready for a new record or two with www.soonasongs.com, our patient record label in Jonesborough, TN.

Thanks for listening,

Bruce

Markley & Balmer at FaceBook Live on your Computer, 4/23/2020 8:30 PM EDT

There are lots of ways to write songs. Jack Hardy used to go for a walk with a penny whistle and come up with a melody, then go home and write is lyric. That’s one way. Sometimes it’s a line, like “Sassafras Tea, Hard A-Lee,” which suggest a melody; I can almost hear the notes.
This week, Lisa and I will be focusing on those where the lyric was suggested by the rhythm and the shape of an existing melody. For me the game has been to make it sound as if the words were wrtten first. We’ll do some standards with their familiar lyric, one for which Lisa wrote a lyric, and one where I appointed myself to try and improve on the better-known version. We also include some originals written this way.
We’re looking forward to loads of fun, and hope you do, too!  Look in EVENTS for additional details.
