Song Prompt: “Becoming Unc” (BB King/Stevie Ray Vaughan Blues Style) Style: A soulful, slow-burning blues groove with gritty guitar riffs in the vein of BB King’s Lucille or Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Texas Flood. Emphasize heartfelt vocals, witty storytelling, and a blend of humor and reflection, backed by a tight rhythm section and emotive guitar solos that wail with soul. Tone: Reflective, humorous, and bittersweet—capturing the highs and lows of aging into the “Unc” phase of life. Channel BB King’s storytelling warmth with Stevie’s raw, electric energy, poking fun at physical limitations and tech struggles while celebrating gained wisdom and financial stability. Themes: • Youthful Energy vs. Aging: Reflect on the wild, energetic days of youth—late nights, endless stamina—contrasted with the slower pace of getting older, complete with creaky joints and earlier bedtimes. • Wisdom and Wealth: Highlight the perks of age: hard-earned life lessons and a fatter wallet, giving “Unc” a sense of pride and authority. • Younger Generation’s View: Explore how younger folks see Unc as outdated or slow, with humorous nods to their obsession with trends and social media, while Unc drops timeless advice they don’t yet appreciate. • Adapting to Technology: Poke fun at struggles with modern tech—misunderstood voice assistants, frustrating autocorrect, or squinting at screens—while showing Unc’s determination to keep up, blending old-school soul with new-school effort. • Humor: Keep it light and self-deprecating, laughing at the absurdities of aging (bifocals, canes) while flexing the confidence of experience. Structure: • Intro: A stinging guitar riff sets a reflective mood, easing into a steady blues shuffle. • Verses: Tell the story of youth’s fire fading into age’s wisdom, with funny anecdotes about physical aches and tech mishaps. • Chorus: A catchy, anthemic hook that owns the “Unc” title, balancing pride in experience with playful gripes about aging. • Bridge: A humorous peak focusing on tech struggles, with a defiant nod to staying relevant. • Outro: A soulful fade-out, blending wistful reflection with a grin, leaving listeners nodding and chuckling. Production Notes: • Guitar: Strat or ES-335 with warm, overdriven tone. Blend BB’s smooth, vocal-like bends with Stevie’s sharp, fiery attack. Solos should shift between youthful energy and mature restraint. • Vocals: Soulful and expressive, with BB’s warm storytelling and Stevie’s gritty edge. Include ad-libs like “C’mon now!” for live-blues vibe. • Band: Tight rhythm section with shuffling drums, upright bass for vintage feel, and Hammond organ for warmth. • Humor Vibe: Think BB’s sly wit (like “Nobody Loves Me But My Mother”) meets Stevie’s playful energy (like “Couldn’t Stand the Weather”). • Modern Touches: Reference 2025 tech (social media, voice assistants) subtly to ground the song, but keep it timeless for broad appeal. This prompt delivers a framework for a BB King/Stevie Ray Vaughan-style blues song about becoming “Unc,” balancing humor, reflection, and soul without including lyrics.

Intro: (Lead guitar riff plays, slow and soulful, setting a reflective mood) Oh, I’m sittin’ here, thinkin’ 'bout the days, yeah, those wild nights, yeah, those long ways, I used to run so fast, never took a rest, But now I’m slowin’ down, puttin’ that youth to the test, yeah… Verse 1: Back in the day, we’d burn that midnight oil, I’d dance all night, never feel the spoil, Now I got a cane and some creaky joints, Tryin’ to keep up, but the body disappoints, oh… (Lead guitar wails, as if expressing frustration) Chorus: I’m your Unc, don’t you forget it, Yeah, I’m your Unc, come on and get it, I may be slow, but I got that gold, Hard-earned wisdom and stories to be told, oh yeah! Verse 2: Young folks laughin’, callin’ me old, They don’t know the power of the things I’ve been told, You’re caught up in trends and scrollin’ all day, But I got advice you might wanna hear, hey, hey… (Lead guitar plays a quick, fiery lick) Chorus: I’m your Unc, don’t you forget it, Yeah, I’m your Unc, come on and get it, I may be slow, but I got that gold, Hard-earned wisdom and stories to be told, oh yeah! Bridge: Now, I ain’t got time for that voice in the box, Autocorrect messin’ up my talks, But I’ll keep tryin’, I’ll keep up the pace, Even if I gotta squint at that damn screen in my face, yeah! (Lead guitar solo, sharp and energetic) Verse 3: So here I am, with my bifocals on, Can’t hear the kids 'cause the TV’s too loud, I’m still hangin’ on, But I’ve got cash in my pocket and peace in my heart, Ain’t no shame in the wisdom that I’m livin’ to impart, no! (Lead guitar riff echoes in the background) Chorus: I’m your Unc, don’t you forget it, Yeah, I’m your Unc, come on and get it, I may be slow, but I got that gold, Hard-earned wisdom and stories to be told, oh yeah! Outro: (Lead guitar slows down, wailing with soulful bends) So, when you see me walkin’ by, Don’t you judge me, no, don’t you hide, I’m your Unc, and I’m feelin’ just fine, With my heart full of soul, and that ol’ guitar of mine… (Soft fade-out on guitar)
