Prompt Queens

My third field report is with my friend, Darryl Purpose. We get a chance to talk on mic about his work, his life and music and it was so much fun! Enjoy this episode and look for Darryl on all the socials! His website is www.darrylpurpose.com

Our second Folk Alliance field report songwriter is U.K's Chloe Foy. It was so fun to get to sit down with an artist who I really didn't know and get a chance to hear her talk about her work, her process and her music. It was so much fun! You can find Chloe on instagram, she is @chloefoymusic and her website is: www.chloefoy.com

Hello Dear Listener,

First, my apologies for getting this out one day later. Second, this is a continuation of our first 30 Word song prompt episode and you may wish to go back and listen to that one before you dive into this one (definitely not necessary). This week Emily and Hope. use the SAME 30 words to construct new songs and in this one you'll find out how they did.

We love Taylor. Who doesn't? She's had such a great long and diverse career that there were lots of options to choose from when thinking about how to write a song like her. Tune in this week and then write your own!

Music is a great teaching tool. Songs that teach ideas are as old as ideas and songs put together. This week, Emily and Hope write some songs to teach everyone a thing or two. Two things. She teaches one thing in song and I teach another. Have a listen then write your own!

The prompt today is "re-runs." So all you latch key kids, don't answer the door or answer the phone til Mom comes home from work and settle in for a long afternoon of, you guessed it, reruns.

What do we know stuff about? Not that much. But we DO know a thing or two about small town news. That's our prompts, these are our songs, and you are still awesome.

I think by now you know about how old Emily and Hope are and in this episode they double down on the nostalgia and Gen X vibe while talking through their "Reality Bites" inspired songs one bite at a time. "Melrose Place is a really good show."

New episode one day late but still awesome! Hopie had some post-production google search How Tos to get through in order to post this show, and I think we'll all agree it was worth the wait! The prompt is Fireplace but don't expect a controlled burn when the Prompt Queens are on fire. Write songs, everybody!
