The Sick Muse

Bedroom Music Episode 6 is here! Starring Charles Joseph Smith, Chicago legend, brilliant instrumentalist and composer, DIY hero, and dancing superstar.

Charles gives us a peak at his music notebook machinations, including an arrangement of Duke Ellington’s “Satin Doll” and a lead sheet for “Baby Got Back”. Also Charles reveals his favorite snack, favorite video game, and gives an off the cuff rendition of Sexual Healing by “Marvin Gaye”! Oh and Charles plays one of his musical apparatuses built of found percussion objects—maybe you can help him come up with a name for it?
