A funny thing happens is you get better at sight reading music, your eyes move ahead

of your fingers, and your mind starts occupying two places at once.

It takes a lot of practice to get used to it, which makes sense, given that you're untethering

your consciousness from space and time.

Welcome to Strong Songs, a podcast about music.

I'm your host, Kirk Hamilton, and as always, I'm so glad that you've joined me to talk

about music played by sight reading, music played through memorization, and sometimes

music that we just play by ear.

You know what's cool?

Being a totally independent podcast and making exactly the show that I want to make, and

that's only the case because I am supported by so many wonderful listeners over on Patreon.

So there's a link to my Patreon, along with PayPal for one-time donations in the show

notes.

Thanks to everyone who signed up so far.

On this episode, musical answers to many of your musical questions, including some follow-ups

from the most recent mail bang that I did a couple of episodes ago.

We've got inhaled vocals, disguised horn sections, and a hand drum that sounds like a

moose, so let's crack some envelopes, co-late some pages, and get into it.

Alright, as always, let's get right into it.

You never know when I'm going to wind up spending 20 minutes talking about the music from

a Mario Kart game, so I want to get to as many of your questions as I possibly can, just

as a reminder up front, of course, you can always send me questions at listenersatstrongsongspotcast.com.
