Tell a Story: And in the Musical Life of Freddie Spaghetti, Freddie dives into the idea of writing his very own song. Will it be a hit?

Discuss Music: One of the most fascinating things about music, is how the human mind processes a song. To have wide appeal, a song needs to connect with both sides of the brain-left and right hemispheres. Play a Song: Our song this morning is titled Just the Raven's Know. It's a song I wrote based on a true story of an unsolved murder of teen Kerry Ann Brown way back in 1986. Tell a Story: And in our story, Fred Barton Jr. reveals how he became known as "Freddie Spaghetti".

Discuss Music: When you add all the elements of a song together, that make a great one, and how does that actually work with the listener? My belief is that a song you enjoy is a bit like a friend. And a song you really, really like is a bit like a best friend. But in order to accomplish this, a song needs to be "hooky". Not so easy to do! Play a Song: Our song of the day is a classic Who Will Sing For Me? Its a classic song with actual roots going way back in time, the original author unknown. Tell a Story: Today in the Musical Life of Freddie Spaghetti, the story moves to a local ice cream shop where Freddie and a young lady have their first date

Discuss Music: One of the most interesting elements about music for me, is where a song arrives from. Is there some magic formula? Of course, the answer is no, otherwise everyone would be using that formula. So how does a song become born? Today, I'll look at how one iconic song was created. Play a Song: With football season upon us, my song today is the Lineman's Song. The song is about an offensive lineman who has a love-hate relationship with the game. Tell a Story: Today in The Musical Life of Freddie Spaghetti, Freddie finds a song he wants to learn. But he wants to play it in G, not the chords on the recording. So he needs a capo, now!

Discuss Music: Welcome to our Labor Day edition of Sound Threads. Some musicians are able to make their songs and playing stand out. Is there a secret to getting good "tone" out of an instrument? Play a Song: Also today, I'll play the song You Were Home to Me. I wrote it about my late mother when she passed, but it's also meant to be a tribute to all the great Mom's out there. They can be the most important person in our lives. Tell a Story: And finally, our story. Freddie Spaghetti is becoming bored with the songs he is learning, and so he looks for some new songs to play.
