I couldn’t pull life together enough to complete melody this week, but liked my lyric enough that I wanted to share it.  Maybe I’ll collab with my past-self in the future…but for now here is what this prompt inspires.  It was a 2:00 AM writing. Update: So today I found myself singing a tune…just a […]

After eating some Hot Cross Buns I had to get around the Cross Town Traffic while avoiding a black cat that wanted to cross my trail but somehow I made it.

Those hills look eerie to me. Verse 1   A train doesn’t stop here anymore Signs forewarn the brave This dirt road leads to a bad end Hettie Blackmore’s grave Chorus:  Local folks say no good acts Ever came from across those tracks If you hear her scream at night Better wear your cross of […]

I’m sick with a combo of allergies and head cold. I tried something with this one, but I don’t think it worked. Oh well. Skirmish means we write quickly and move on! So I’m moving on. Total time writing/rehearsing/recording/uploading: 38 mins. Probably should have rehearsed a little more before recording but my voice is nearly […]

Ok here we go,At first I thought “WTF” when I saw the prompt then mybrain became 5 years old and had an awesome play session inthe “sandbox” of words and chords. Here is “The Father, son and the Holy Wine” 1, On My shoulders I carry a burden of wood Heavy my burden, My hands […]

Our spring weather can be a tease.  We had some positively hot weather in April and then winter returned with renewed vigor.  There were Facebook memes between Mother Nature and Wisconsin (or Minnesota) and they prompted my lyric this week. I heard a conversation one fateful April night Mother Nature and Wisconsin were in a […]

This week’s experiment was again trying to expand my EDM vocabulary. As far as the amusing prompt goes, fortunately I went to college where I became quite familiar with this subject. Not that the song is at all autobiographical.

Great prompt which promises an interesting round! This song pretty much sums up my adolescence at parties and in clubs. I’m pretty bad at staying under one hour for recording. Though I got the basic structure pretty quickly jamming away to a drumbeat, when I started editing the drum track and layering virtual instruments I really went […]

Title  Miss Kitty “Hold the  Beer” Verse 1 He’s an old salty dog Hard as a coat of armour Bartender Miss Kitty Bestows her pity He flirts girls with titties But they know he’s harmless   Chorus:  Miss Kitty Hold the beer Pray a guardian angel is near A gentle soul with a heart […]

Give me a theme like this and it’ll turn into either country or slushy rock. You’ll hear which I picked soon enough! Total time writing, recording, uploading, etc: 48 minutes   hold my beer i’m feeling stupid i’m feeling dumb hold my beer hold my beer it’s a bad idea i should have never come […]
