Drink From My Cup

I wrote a poem in the style of a Twenties jazz tune and thought it would be funny if I actually turned it into a song. I envisioned the character as a cross between Jessica Rabbit and Bessie Smith, the proprietress of a joint that sells moonshine in mason jars. Obviously I don't fit the type but I hope you get the idea. Here's a link to an example of Bessie Smith's voice: https://youtu.be/fULit-YOq18?list=OLAK5uy_lHwCoNktKxq5ei17-u0YE9KxgiGNrM7zM Here's a link to the poetry book on Lulu: https://www.lulu.com/shop/martin-parker-and-patrick-bartmess/september-poems-2025/paperback/product-65jnrw8.html?page=1&pageSize=4 Here's a link to the other video, featuring Elizabeth Bennet's performance: https://youtu.be/DASheKCvdik I used Google AI to pick out chord progressions that resembled jazz. I use Cubase to asssemble my piano improvisations and I used MuseScore to figure out how to make a score. https://musescore.com/ https://linktr.ee/PatrickBartmess
