dorks AHOY!: mom beat ya to it

dorks AHOY!: that's awesome Dolores
kimmie202: mommy is always right
Dolores_Beck: His tennis was as great as his music, and still is.

Dolores_Beck: (I love to hear this.)
Ashley: = )
Prezent: not surprising Dolores
Nedra: That's beautiful...
Shirlise: Ah

kimmie202: me too shirlise...
Prezent: me too
Prezent: lol
Nedra: moi aussi
Dolores_Beck: Matt did make the right choice
Abby: matt... where do you find inspiration for music?
Matt_Beck: it just naturally took over when I got into rock and pop music

dorks AHOY!: cool
dorks AHOY!: sometimes things work like that
Matt_Beck: i find inspiration in 2 ways
Matt_Beck: quite simply New and Old things
Dolores_Beck: Excellent answer
Matt_Beck: I'll here an ancient piece of music that'll inspire me or I could here a brand new band and take something away from hearing them
Matt_Beck: hear
kimmie202: that's awesome
Nedra: Bits and pieces or s certain sound or???
Abby: when you're on stage do you get lost in the song or do you ever get distracted with other things?
Matt_Beck: it could be anything, an instrument, a style, a feel, a lyric
kimmie202: my daughter was "inspired" to continue when she saw a cello player in an aerosmith video...LOL
Ashley: why start writing now?
Matt_Beck: i love to get lost in the song. those are the moments we strive for
Dolores_Beck: Matt is one of the few musicians that I know that is at home with so many different styles of music. He is open to everything
kimmie202: oh....us too matt, there's nothing like it
Matt_Beck: realistically it doesnt happen all the time, sometimes not at all
Prezent: and it shows in the way you can adapt and pick up things so effortlessly
dorks AHOY!: you can tell that you guys are INTO it alot - that's really great!
Matt_Beck: certain songs lend themselves to it\
Ashley: for instance?
Matt_Beck: the end of Problem Girl
kimmie202: like the song you hear for the first time and say...yeah, i get it
Matt_Beck: the melloe #am version we did
Matt_Beck: 3am
Nedra: I can see that...
Abby: since we were on the topic of music how do you write?- with a guitar piano etc
dorks AHOY!: does that happen for you on one instrument more than others?
Matt_Beck: when I used to watch Rob and Kyle do If You're Gone
Ashley: 3 am i can see...
dorks AHOY!: Loved that!
Ashley: ooooh....that is my favorite version of that song
LAW: I love that
Nedra: the best, yup
littlewhitedog: this is making me wish for a concert
kimmie202: problem girl....one of my faves
Dolores_Beck: Good quetion, Abby
Ashley: thanks.
Prezent: with a pen?
Dolores_Beck: :-)
Abby: I'm just the one throwing the questions out there , it was actually ashleys question
Matt_Beck: well, I don't consider myself an experienced writer, but like alot of other songwriters, I'll stumble onto to a riff, progression, melody or feel that inspires me. I'll vamp on it for a while and other things start to get added.
Matt_Beck: I'm very comfortable on gtr or piano
kimmie202: vamp?
LAW: I wish I was talented
Ashley: i dig
Matt_Beck: vamp= play it over and over
Dolores_Beck: Repeat over and over
Ashley: lol law
LAW: you make it sound so easy
kimmie202: oh...LOL sorry
Prezent: thankyou Dolores
dorks AHOY!: that's why he's so good!
Matt_Beck: sometimes its easy, sometimes you really have to "craft" a lot to put a song together
kimmie202: lol...matt is dumbing it down for me
Dolores_Beck: Matt, I liked your writing way back when you were in high school
Matt_Beck: im still learning alot about songwriting
dorks AHOY!: way back - hee hee
Ashley: why write to release now?
Dolores_Beck: Ooops
Nedra: How many songs do you end up liking out of all you write?
kimmie202: oh..good question nedra
Matt_Beck: good question Neds
Dolores_Beck: good question
Nedra: Thanks, Matt just led me there with his last sentence
Matt_Beck: I think if I have an idea, and I like it, it gets preserved until sometime that I'm able to finish it. if I don't like it when its finished, I'll strip it back down to what i like about it in the 1st place and start again
Dolores_Beck: I promised Matt a place at my music studio to try out his songs with a small live audience.
kimmie202: are there songs that never get finished?
Abby: sometimes i get random song ideas and then i get stuck and i cant finish it. then it's like i'll love something i wrote and a week later i'll look over it and think it's horrible. (mind you this is someone that will never succeed in the song writing field.)
Ashley: oh!! i want to be in that audience!
Shirlise: me me me me
Matt_Beck: therfore, hopefully, I like all the songs i actually finish
susiebutterfly: That is an interesting process. I have never heard that before.
dorks AHOY!: That's such a good attitude toward it!
Prezent: me too please Dolores and Matt me too
Dolores_Beck: Okay, Ashley
Nedra: That gives me a much better idea of what songwriting is like for you. Thanks!
Ashley: wooohoo!
Ashley: i'll sell half my cats to get there!
Abby: matt- what is it that you love about music?
Ashley: dont tell em. they're adopted anyway....
kimmie202: me too dolores!!
Dolores_Beck: Okay Kimmie
Matt_Beck: wow, heavy question. dont know that it can be answered fully
dorks AHOY!: anything you DON'T love about it?
Dolores_Beck: Matt, how do you answer Abby's question
Dolores_Beck: Not easy. Abby, what do you like about music?
Matt_Beck: Music actually has a mental, emotional AND physical effect on people. I don't know of anything else that does. Well, for me anyway.
Matt_Beck: thats the best that i can sum up
dorks AHOY!: SO TRUE
littlewhitedog: good answer - I agree!
LAW: good answer
susiebutterfly: Good answer. I love music for the way it makes me feel.
Dolores_Beck: Awesome answer, Matt
kimmie20: spiritual
susiebutterfly: And the way it can make me think.
Ashley: thanks
Andrea: Matt...how would you describe music to a deaf person??
kimmie202: oh..
Ashley: ooooooooooooo. a question all on her own and very good!
Abby: me?oh dear. that is a tough question. when i hear a song it just kind of takes over me and i can feel that inside of me in some way i suppose. whether it be a lyric or a beat there's just something that everything else fades away but that one thing.
dorks AHOY!: good answer Abby
Abby: i do my homework.
Abby:
dorks AHOY!: good girl!
Matt_Beck: there's a great scene in "Children of a Lesser God"
dorks AHOY!: great movie!
Prezent: oh yeah I know that scene
Nedra: LOVE that scene!
Abby: more or less music is my life and it's not homework but a blessing
dorks AHOY!: yep
LAW: I love how one song can mean so many different things to different people.
Abby: i'm going to have to watch that now.
Prezent: lol its a great movie
dorks AHOY!: it's great!
Matt_Beck: where he tries to describe music to his deaf girlfriend. remember it?
dorks AHOY!: yep
Prezent: yeah
littlewhitedog: yeah, me too, I don't remember
Andrea: i'm gonna have to REwatch that movie. i watched it a zillion years ago.
Prezent: William Hurt
Matt_Beck: he kind of puts his hands over his heart and looks upward. kind of spiritually
Dolores_Beck: Me, too, Andrea
susiebutterfly: Aww. sweet. I have never seen the movie. I'll have to rent it.
dorks AHOY!: so powerful!
Nedra: YES! I remember
Prezent: he is very passionate about it and love the way he wants to share it with her.
Matt_Beck: i think he's describing Mozart. Mastadon might get a different response
Dolores_Beck: :-)
Nedra: *laughs* I feel that way 'bout Mozart, too
dorks AHOY!: lol
Dolores_Beck: Matt, your music always continues to move me.
kimmie202: awwwwwwwwww

Matt_Beck: Paul had already met me when he came to see Lisa's show (Dweezil is Paul's wife's brother)
Dolores_Beck: Moon?
Matt_Beck: so Paul pretty much said, "Yeah, I know Matt Beck, let's use him!" :-)

Dolores_Beck: 'Best decision that they ever made for keys
Prezent: did you know who Rob was?
Nedra: I think so too
Prezent: I had to ask as the girls didn't actually know who he was when they first got asked to join the band
Matt_Beck: didn't have to actually audition, but if it wasnt gelling, id had gotten the boot

Matt_Beck: tough question, wouldn't want to have much of one w/o the other
dorks AHOY!: balance is good!
Matt_Beck: I think I'd prefer to be in the studio and then pick and choose my tours
Ashley: course...the crew also had some other stories too
Abby: is it when you're in the studio you want to be on the road and when you're on the road you want to be back in the studio

Dolores_Beck: Right, Matt
susiebutterfly: You know, I have always wondering about musicians and what happens if they don't feel well. Like they get allergies or horrible headaches that won't go away. I have always wonder how they cope with the when they have to go on stage.
