As to originality:
Sometimes I think that having so much recorded music available so readily
is
a hindrance. Sometimes forgetting & confabulating are just what you need
to
get to a new spot. Recycling/reshaping old ideas into new is not always so
simple if the spectre of musics past is either a turn of the radio dial or
a
buttonpush on the CD player away.
But I think it's possible & good to ignore a lot of that. Screw the fact
that anyone can plainly see that all you've done is "steal" from Lothar and
the Hand People & the Love Unlimited Orchestra. If it feels good, play
it.
