The "seed song" for this thread is Minimal by Eric Schwartz, from his album Redder Than Ever. It prompted a photograph by Cameron Murphy.
Eric Schwartz's song Minimal inspired this photograph by Cameron Murphy of Louisville, Kentucky. The photo has prompted two songs so far: Black And White Dress by Jaspar Lepak and I'm Just A Witness by Tracy Newman. A couple of years later, Cameron wound up playing bass on Rain Perry's song Magical, also part of this thread. Coincidence? Maybe.
Cameron Murphy's photo inspired this song from Seattle's Jaspar Lepak (whose song I Know A Woman is a "seed song" for another thread in the project). This song, which is now on Jaspar's album Desert Ghosts, prompted two drawings; one by Kaitlyn and one by Margaret Donahue.
Jaspar Lepak's song Black And White Dress inspired this drawing by Margaret Donahue of Kanata, Ontario, Canada. Margaret has a drawing in another Now See Hear thread as well.
Jaspar Lepak's song Black And White Dress inspired this drawing by Kaitlyn, age ten. Kaitlyn's drawing prompted Rain Perry's song Magical.
Ten-year-old Kaitlyn's drawing inspired this song written and sung by Rain Perry, with bass guitar by Cameron Murphy, whose photograph appears earlier in this thread. Eerie, I know. Anyway, Magical has so far inspired three further works of art: a digital painting and a poem by the clients of Able ARTS Work, and a hand-drawn/digital piece by DarrenCorp.
Rain Perry's song Magical inspired this digital painting, entitled "Strawberry Lights," by clients of Able ARTS Work in Southern California, whose clients also wrote a poem inspired by Magical. The primary mission of Able ARTS Work is to provide lifelong learning, community service and vocational opportunities through the creative arts for people of all abilities and all ages in an environment of warmth, encouragement and inclusion. The creators of this piece are Allison Salo, Brian Corder, Nancy Terry, Randi Carter, Julianna Gallardo and Amber Nething.

Cameron Murphy's photograph inspired this song by Tracy Newman, who has written at least three songs for Now See Hear, and whose song I Just See You is a "seed song" for another thread. This song prompted a photograph by Patrick McGowan.
Tracy Newman's song I'm Just A Witness inspired this photograph by Southern California's Patrick McGowan (#patrickmcgowanphotography), who has also contributed photographs in other Now See Hear threads. Patrick's photo prompted Carl Solomon to write the song Rosa Marie.
Patrick McGowan's photograph inspired Carl Solomon's song Rosa Marie. Carl also contributed the song Just Like You to Now See Hear, which you can listen to on another thread. A recording of Rosa Marie is confidently expected any second now.
