Frank, I've always advocated using unusual styles for familiar songs. I like to push the limits, as I did for the Christmas songs and a lot of the gospel styles. When the music sheet calls for 3\4 styles, use a 4\4 rhythm instead, or just about anything that seems to catch your interest. We have to remind ourselves that we are the arrangers and performers of every song we record, so the style is always our choice and we can DARE to be different!! Get rid of humdrum music and put a little excitement back into the piece. Sometimes a catchy bass line will do the trick, but whatever it is, if it causes people to tap their toes, they will remember it and look for more. I've done gospel, country, latin, Beatles, Elvis, patriotic, old standards, easy listening, kid's songs, and Christmas music, and now I'll try my hand at some Polkas, but since I only have 8 different songs, that shouldn't take long. If you always use a different style for each song you do, listeners won't get tired of your music, and thanks to the net and a few choice sites, we have enough styles to last for years. Imagination is the key, though. Let it run free and your music will always be interesting. Keep up the good work! Bud
