Free Licks
By Joy Lynn Clark 02/17/2025 I first moved to Chicago’s Northside as a student in 1996. I spent a lot of time taking the bus and the train to learn my way around the city. I did not have the benefit of learning this with my many family members that also live here because I am the oldest of all of the grandchildren. In the “building” I was right in the middle, too old for the kids, too young for the aunts and uncles. Even though I had just done that reality talk show, I was already in a different area learning how to live as a grown up. When…

By Joy Lynn Clark 11/3/2024 Since the lapsteel is out on lease, I decided to use the dulcimer version, special acknowledgement to Metallica who are famous for using this instrument.

The God of quickness
By Joy Lynn Clark 11/9/2021 Patience is probably a virtue: but I love when duty is swift. Grandma and grandpa on the other side were Catholics. I like to rap fast, I like Dance music and I even was a sprinter in track. So swiftness is also a virtue in my book. We go through the same thing with the Catholics as the protestants but, the Catholics are timely and on schedule. The Protestants will go on and on. If it’s good we will sing on – forever. Grandma would press my hair straight and help me dress – but more quickly. There is no Sunday school for me to…

The Most Beautiful House
By Joy Lynn Clark October 22, 2021 When I was young, and when my mom was still finding herself – we became Buddhists. I found it super boring but as usual I went along for the ride. It started with some chanting sessions in my living room. I didn’t have to come but I was extremely curious. My first encounter was a group of chanters sitting Indian style on the floor in my living room. I crept through the group on all fours since our furniture had been moved aside. I called myself sneaking in and eventually one of the chanters spots me and shows me his little book. “What…

LeeMeBee (Software Test pt. 1 – Multitrack Vocals)
3/22/2025 By Joy Lynn Clark (BMI)(IAPWE) This song is about domestic violence. I still haven’t found the words to talk about it but I did write this song. I don’t even care to type up the lyrics. Someone asked me in the past to start walking people though my production experience. I am not sure about making tutorials at this point but here’s a bit of what I did. I wrote this song around 2000 (Leave Me Alone) and I have a few versions of it somewhere. This new version is a software test . The plan was to kick this song real quick and try to learn ACID which …

Getting Busy
By Joy Lynn Clark 10/9/2024 After the dust had settled from when I first left my Dad and Stepmom‘s house; then to my own apartment for a few months, and then grandmas for school, I decided to make amends. Even though things were still raw with my folks and I, they agreed to help me with college. Inside I was grateful that Grandma and Pawpaw were there to help me smooth things over. I asked my Dad for tuition, my Mom for books, and my Stepmom for health insurance. Dad and Stepmom pulled through, so I adjusted my attitude. On the other hand, Mom told me to ask Dad, so…
