Artist: Nina Simone Song: "Feeling Good" Released: 1965 Chart: - Label: Philips Records Note: This is from the later years when Archie Goodwin could be taking dates to the Flamingo. The dinner and dancing era was starting to wind down by 1968. Rex Stout wrote until 1975, and Archie is probably dancing even now.

Artist: Gene Austin and the Victor Orchestra Song: "My Blue Heaven" Released: Written in 1924, Published in 1927 Chart: US No. 1 Label: Victor Records
Note: This song was recorded numerous times, and was a hit for several people. I felt that we should listen to the original, recorded by the man who wrote the song. However, you're welcome to enjoy any other versions! Several of them would fit the time period nicely. I am including this, even if it seems a bit before the correct time frame, because Archie mentions that he's been in NYC for seven years before the first story set in 1934. He would definitely have been around in time to dance to this one!

I've been working on a few separate projects recently. One thing I've noticed is that my music really tends to reflect in my writing. Whether it's short punchy sentences for comedy, concise answers for How To, or the long flowing melodies for poetry, what I'm listening to seems to have a direct correlation to what I'm writing. The odd part? I don't make the choices, the music does.
Waking up on any given morning, I may or may not feel like writing. It's one of those things. Sometimes I have to talk myself into it, or some days I just declare a Mental Health Day and goof off with Netflix and my cats. Occasionally I'll be in the mood to read, or do something else. There are some mornings where I just pull the cover back up and sleep in. But on the days I want to write, I notice that I pick the music first. Whatever I'm in the mood for musically tends to somehow translate into what I'm going to write that moment. Sometimes that will switch fairly quickly, just kind of flowing from one genre to another, project to project. Just a thought. Maybe listening to a different type of music could expand your written horizon?
