What ho!
What ho, readers! We're back down off the mountain from our week of music at Rocky Mountain Fiddle Camp, and gearing up for end of summer life. The best thing I did during our week in the mountains was take a songwriting class, something I've been toying with/meaning to/thinking of/trying to do for the last couple of years.
Success has been lacking because I'm not a musican or even musically-inclined. But last week I learned some of the fundamental "rules" of songwriting to match up with my lyric writing and my ever-growing stable of a dozen guitar chords. Combine this with the fact I've been listening to pop music for nearly 40 years now, I'm going to write a couple of songs and see what happens. I'll keep you posted.
