# terrible shit that nobody would ever want to buy ; )
 
I have unrealistically high standards and hate most things I do, b3ta is fine though because it is all for fun

# I guess I'm talking genre
I used to play keys in jazz and R&B bands for years. I still create originals on occasion in my little studio, and create backing tracks for other musicians to use for various purposes. I get paid for those, but it's not a very good per-hour return, if you know what I mean.

# I'm kind of all over the place.
if pressed for a point of reference I would say Zoogz Rift, or Soul Coughing..

but when I reach for the acoustic it's usually in the Kristin Hersh / Frank Black / Jon Fratelli line of things

# I wasn't around for that.
I'm still feeling kind of left out to be honest.

# I can relate to some of those, to a point
You probably won't relate to my stuff, but I'll thrust one at you anyway. I'ts a dance/jazz/marginally fusional original I call SmoothPass

# I think I heard a rap version of this.
It was a woman, she was saying stuff like, "your call is important to us, please continue to hold for the next available representative".

# does that mean you think it sounds like please-hold or elevator music?
If so, I agree in a way, but it's mine and not everyone can do it :)

ed: of course I did not expect an answer. You are rather predictable that way.
