This little riff invented itself while I was messing around with my electric guitar just to unwind, which is why most of my music is created initially. Then it gets out of hand and I try to record it properly and multi-track an arrangement and I get all wound up again. Go figure.

Be that as it may, this is by no means an original sound, though I didn’t copy it from anything. After I strummed it out I could hear it was well-used. I’d just never used it. So, sometime you reinvent the wheel, or perhaps is your subconscious popping out music you’ve heard so many times that you can’t name one specific place it came from?

Jus how original is original thought? Is this thought original? Does it matter?

Recorded in the early 1970s.
