I was complicating it. Here I was thinking is there now a computer program EVEN for composing music?! Well of course. Now I need to find me a composer-person-body! thank you ;)

I mentioned it in reference to your question about my writing music for words written by other people. I know many people who co-write songs by this system: one person creates the lyrics, the other person creates the music. That person is the “composer”.

Is this some kind of technology? Do you write about it on your blog somewhere? Thanks– Heidi

Not much, probably because I’ve got so many millions of my own words to deal with. I see that you have some lovely words on your site. Do you ever put them in front of a composer to see what would happen?
My quirky habit is to create a “temporary song” out of my to-do list, so that I can sing it in my head and simultaneously remind myself what it is I need to get done.
Something like, “Pharmacy, Car Wash, Post Office, Fish Market”, all set to some catchy little tune.
Maybe someday I’ll record a CD of to-do lists.
