Good Morning, Good Morning!

Coffee in hand. Headphones on. Eyes closed. Play. Wake up to the world a little more gently today.

Good morning, good morning! Or evening, actually. The night is coming fast, and the evening colors are streaking across the sky. Electricity is in the air, and there is power in the music.

Good morning, good morning! This is a short improv I put together looking out the window at a single-digits winter's day bathed in sunlight. Enjoy the listen. Imagine your breath hanging before you in a cloud of crystalline shimmer.

Playing this song, I tried to let no pressure through, no deadlines, no to-do list... just empty, letting the music guide me. I don't do that enough - let the music tell me where to go. I am usually afraid of letting go, but I opened myself up a little today. Not a lot, but a little, and it was nice.

Good morning, good morning! As we near winter, we will say goodbye to rain for a while (at least some of us will!). This improvisation reminds me a touch of a gray rain. Hear the drops fall. See the sheets shift with the gusting winds. Breathe in and out with the rise and fall of the sound of the rain. Let it wash over you. Release and relax. Enjoy.

Good morning, good morning! We all encounter moments of challenge, where darkness and despair threaten our spirit and sanity. Take this minor key improvisation as a brief diversion. I throw the major four chord in the mix - I couldn't entirely give in!

Good morning, good morning! Enjoy this week's improvisation/meditation - it's a lighter piece in a major key, so you can close your eyes and shut down your mind for a moment. -Josh

Good morning, good morning! A noontime recording today brings a sense of both stillness and urgency. So much is going through our minds these days that we cannot simply ignore, but when we want to quiet our minds, we can choose to allow our thoughts to wash over us, at least for a few minutes. Swim in the ocean of your thoughts. Allow them to pass in waves. Slow down. Calm down. Close your eyes and let your mind release. -Josh Support the GMGM project at patreon.com/goodmorninggoodmorning

Good morning, good morning! I incorporated an introspective left hand melody into the opening measures of this improvisation. It combines with a sunny right hand for a cheery motivator on your Monday morning. - Josh Support the project at https://patreon.com/goodmorninggoodmorning

Good morning, good morning! Today's installment is a groovy little ditty that fell down during an afternoon session. Close your eyes and breathe. Clear your mind and relax. Enjoy the moment. -Josh Support the project at https://patreon.com/goodmorninggoodmorning

Good morning, good morning! Today is another day. Take a cleansing breath, shake loose of your constraints, and go. I felt the need to play something in contrast to the previous episode, so I approached this improvisation with unbridled optimism. Enjoy! -Josh

Good morning, good morning! Last night I had a bad dream. It was your typical anxiety dream where nothing seems to go right. Instead of escaping upon awakening, the dream informed my entire morning. As an artist, I decided to embrace the emotion for today's improvisation. It was cleansing. Thank you for allowing me to communicate these feelings to you through music. Let my journey guide your meditation. -Josh

Good morning, good morning! Today is Yom Kippur. My wife, Francie's family is Jewish, and last night I accompanied her singing the ancient chant, the Kol Nidre (in Aramaic!). Here is that piano accompaniment. If you would like to see the service, it is on YouTube https://youtu.be/PJbKpW4WQCU Have a wonderful week! -Josh

I have a great meditation moment for you today. Take a breath, close your eyes, and let everything else go for a few minutes. Breath. -Josh Twitter: https://twitter.com/PianoJoshDupont Support the podcast at https://patreon.com/goodmorninggoodmorning  

GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING! Take a breath. It is time to destress. Lean back for the next few minutes and recenter yourself. Josh Dupont brings you a brief piano improvisation to facilitate a meditative moment. Embrace it!

GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING! Thank you so much for listening to my podcast. In this episode I share a handy app that I've been using to cultivate and curate my creativity. Google Keep is a nice corkboard app that I find extremely helpful for recording my ideas when I have them, as opposed to waiting until the time is right to work on writing. Check it out at http://keep.google.com I'll post some screenshots of my Songscape on the Patreon page. Have a great day, and be creative! -Josh Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodmorninggoodmorning Twitter: @PianoJoshDupont

GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING! The first entry into a collection of piano improvisations - "Background Noise" Today I have some afternoon piano noodling for you. I sat down at the piano and let my mind wander - this is the result of letting go. I present a bit of a meditation to find that calmness within your own mind. Listen and let go. -Josh Show Page: http://goodmorninggoodmorning.libsyn.com/ Twitter: @PianoJoshDupont Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodmorninggoodmorning

GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING! "Sophia" is an original song of mine. I hope you like it. -Josh Show Page: http://goodmorninggoodmorning.libsyn.com/ Twitter: @PianoJoshDupont Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodmorninggoodmorning

GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING! Thank you so much for listening to my podcast. After a couple months of recording shows, I think I have identified some tweaks for the show programming. Going forward, I'll be splitting the format in twain - one show for sharing ideas with you and one show for sharing music with you. Hopefully both shows will be coming out at either end of the same week, but we'll see! I hope to catch you listening to the next one. Thanks again! -Josh Show Page: http://goodmorninggoodmorning.com Twitter: @PianoJoshDupont

GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING! What are you passionate about in your life? Do you share that passion with those around you? Get out there and spread your passion around the world! In this episode, Josh presents a song he wrote about getting stuck in a rut. Sometimes it takes a drastic shift in perspective or even a shift in setting to knock oneself out of a funk. This is a grey song that ends with a bit of sun - “Nowhere to Run.” Show Page: http://goodmorninggoodmorning.com Twitter: @PianoJoshDupont

GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING! Have you moved your body today? It's time to shake those cobwebs off of your muscles and get that heartbeat up up up! We'll just pretend that Josh didn't share his morning toothbrush dance party with everyone. Josh also sings a song he wrote about a sleepy little town in central Mississippi. That town's name is D'Lo. You are probably at least a little familiar with the place. Take a listen and enjoy the tune. Show Page: http://goodmorninggoodmorning.com Twitter: @PianoJoshDupont

GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING! It's election day in Josh's hometown - time to reflect upon the importance of the vote. The vote is a "use it or lose it" phenomenon. Don't let your opportunity to make an impact go by. Josh also opens up his songwriting archives and polishes up an old notebook tune called "The Memory." Go vote today. If you don't know how, ask someone. Involve the community in your decision to exercise the greatest power you have been given in this country (Josh resides in the USA for our international listeners).

GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING! This week, host Joshua Dupont shares his thoughts on karma - the belief that what goes around comes around, to paraphrase Justin Timberlake. He also shares a tune he wrote for the patrons of his many bar shows over the years - "I Try to Be." Better things happen when you make the world a better place, so pay it forward.
