Without further ado, we present the third song-offering for the Paterson Project: "The Incomplete Seduction of a Scholar and Clerk; or, 'Here are My Keys, Go Up and Help Yourself." As before, you can access the poem page HERE and the song file HERE. This one has a few ch-ch-ch-changes, so check 'em both out and see what you think.
Oh, and then tell us what you think. All you silent site-checkers are makin' me nervous...

Don't be nervous. Some of us just aren't as musically intelligent as we should be in order to make acceptable comments.
My favorite piece so far has been "The Murder of the Dutchman." It seems to me that this one is the most musically developed. It also has the best set of words to go to music. Lyrics are slightly different than poems, don't you think? For instance, starting a song with the phrase, "It's hard to be a hydrocephalic" is asking a lot from any song writer. But he carries it off!
