Having problems with message search?
How was the rewriting week (oh, yeah a whole week ago now) for you all? I didn’t make any time for music of any kind – except what I listened to while driving. Grrr. It’s turned out to be a bigger adjustment than I expected having the kids around all the time. (Two teenagers and their 2 neighborhood friends who more or less live here during the summer). It is always noisy here!
So instead of writing and editing songs, I’ve been editing my house. I pulled everything out of the back room (ostensibly my studio/office, but much more like a tornado-addled junk room) and just finished painting it. Today only what I really need goes back in – and then perhaps since I’ll have a place of my own and a door to close, I’ll get back to writing!
Or else all of that is a really elaborate excuse to avoid working on stuck songs. You never know...
;^)
Hope all is well for the rest of you!

Hey all,
So yesterday was a lot of fun even with some rewriting mixed into the day. I started to look at a song I'd done mid-february. Most of the lyrics are nonsense but there were a couple lines in I really liked and I found the melody and chords interesting. So after a day of hanging out with a lady-type person and generally futzing around I sat down at a bar for a burger and a beer and starting playing with the lyrics. I found it kind of hard going at first as some old habits of focusing on all the stuff that's wrong with it... and more over what I want the song to become took over. Then I made the conscious choice to start with just the stuff i liked and start asking where I might go from there. Well, I finished my beer and went next door to listen to some friends play and enjoy more beer and drips and drabs of lines and inspiration came along as I sat there. So... that's my story from yesterday. What's your story?
