Lyrics:

I got a new Escalade

'Cause I need it

To carry pieces that I need

To do all the things I do

To do the things that I do

Please don't steal my Escalade

It's an instrument I need

How I play the notes of my life

It's my Cadillac

We both want my Escalade

But let's think of how you'll feel

When You have your own

You'll say to some guy,

Hey You! Please don't steal my Cadillac!

Please don't steal my Escalade

It's an instrument I need

How I play the notes of my life

It's my Cadillac

[bridge]

Please don't steal my Escalade

It's the way that I do

The things That I do

You know that we all want to

Just do the things that we do

This is the original mix.

[Cadillac Jim]

Very nice. This one is a bit of a mood change from the swing jazz of the previous tunes.

[Bruce Nunnally]

Thanks Jim!

I keep learning a bit more each piece that I do. This one is a Ballad done with an upbeat style & a slight

push on the tempo. I don't know what genre it really fits in; maybe "Adult Contemporary"? what do you think?

[Cadillac Jim]

I find that trying to find a defining niche for new art necessarily arbitrary and judgmental, but, since you ask, Adult Contemporary works well. It has elements of blues, jazz, and... rock, but jazz predominates. It has a rolling beat that does not flaunt a 4/4 measure but is driven by its own tempo and mood, something not often seen in simpler types of music. An extreme example of this is Bach's Jesu, joy of man's desiring:

I think that Jerry Garcia might have gotten some of his inspiration from Bach and others. Despite your protestations, your work shows quite a bit of musical knowledge.

[Bruce Nunnally]

Thanks Jim; as always I appreciate your comments. I don't have a good sense for genre, but I hate if I go to listen to something thinking

it is R&B and what they meant was Death-Metal. Nothing against the latter, but good to know ahead of time what one is biting into.
