Location: Boise, Idaho | Great! I should have been dropping off guitars for you to take up. Looking forward to seeing you again. My daughter decided she won't be going. She didn't tell me why, but I think she said something about drunk old guys to her mother. Now I won't have any reliable witnesses. |

I was just thinking about a 10 hour drive back on Sunday after a late Saturday night/Sunday morning. I hope my flight beats the Prof back to Boise, so he can stop for a short rest and I can refresh his coffee. Maybe he'll show my wife pictures of his music room and convince her that I need some additions to mine. |

So it's OPO's for me.
Unless I buy that other GP that's lurking on the bay.

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | **** Songwriting Contest/exercise!****
There will be a songwriting event.
I have volunteered to coach/referee.
A little early to say what shape it will take, I'm waiting for the Tequila to inspire....it's never let me down yet.
(warning; I consider songwriting a full contact sport. My longest lasting writing partner and I kicked the snot out of each other on the beach one night working out the fight scene in a piece we wrote in university....'course, I don't bounce like I used to.)
Here's a plan.
The theme is.......
Childhood Memories
Reminiscence, learning experience, fond memories, shadowy terrors.....whatever. Bring a finished or partial song. I'll go get back my copy of Sheila Davis' workbook and we can play and/or polish as the mood and interest allows.
....now, where is Robbie's number? Bugger's ahd the book for more than a year.....
(co-writes are encouraged. they're great for both bonding and getting things done. Did I read that AJ is 'beering' with someone before he comes over? Write a song dudes!) |

$2400 with a week to go.
If it was black or red it might still have been a chance.

Sometimes I get all excited and blurt off the top of my head, and you can't go back and edit 10 minutes later on this site.
I should ask first, is there interest in writing songs before or at this event? If before, then we all have a couple of weeks to dash something off. If at, then we can write in groups, which is sometimes a little faster and more fun...we chat a little about songwriting and how it's built. I could share some brain storming ideas. (okay, maybe more of a drizzle.)
And, in case it sounded a little over-enthusiastic...the 'full contact sport/ comment', etc......rest assured. It will be a supportive and nurturing environment. None of the sort of digs we normally do around here. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Since I haven't written a song in 55 years (I had one in my head once, but I forgot it) I didn't figure I'd get one written in the week I have left before I start travelling.
I wouldn't mind some ideas, though. So far I'm fine with learning songs that other people have written. |
