How two musicians halfway across the country work out some songs


Thursday, February 20, 2003  

OK so I went to a songwriting class tonight. It was pretty cool. we did a lot of lyric writing exercizes. Which was really good considering I'm horrible at lyrics. Here are some of the exercizes:

1- we were given certain phrases where we had to re-write them
2- write a list of song titles
3- write a verse about your favorite blank
4- now go write the two previous verses to #3

The results were interesting. I am more prolific than I thought once I got started. The hard part was definitely getting started.

I'll post what I actually wrote later. I also found out that the instructor is very equipped (and willing) to help record songs. So that's an option. I didn't get into price, but certainly will ask at some point.

I owe you a new CD. I'll have it ready this weekend.
