Song Challenge - Day 19

day 19 - a song from your favorite album



I have numerous favorite albums but if I were to take the scientific approach to what makes an album good in my opinion I always end up at The Beatles and Revolver. This was the song Jill and I chose for our first dance at our wedding. I think it was a good choice.

Song Challenge - Day 18

day 18 - a song that you wish you heard on the radio



I love Huey Lewis and The News and so do most radio stations. They don't love this song for some reason.

Short Blog Friday: Royal Wedding Edition!

If Prince William was just some guy standing behind you at Wal~Mart you'd want him to back up that bald head of his just a bit.

Song Challenge - Day 17

day 17 - a song that you hear often on the radio



I don't really listen to the radio but my wife listens to the 80's music channel on cable. This song gets played every day.

What am I gonna do with all this stuff?

I can't for the life of me get a song started. I've got my gear all ready to go but I just sit there wondering where to begin.

Here's about all my "studio" does. It's impressive for visitors but when they ask to hear something they'll only get to hear what I've done prior to owning this lonely gear.


I know how to use it all but I can't kick my brain into gear. The real humdinger is that I know how to write a song. It's not that hard really. You string a few chords together and find a hook or chorus that sounds decent. The rest of the song sort of fills itself in on its own. No, really. That's how easy it is to write a song. I've never been much of a lyricist and that's fine. I'm also good with puns. I seem to come up with decent ideas while I'm in the shower but there are two flights of stairs between my office and the shower so they're usually forgotten before I get there. I punch notes and things into my phone but I usually lose those as well.

Maybe I'm just too darned happy. I'll come up with something eventually. I think I need to just lock myself down here for several hours (not counting when I'm working) and just start writing until something good floats to the top.

Song Challenge - Day 16

day 16 - a song that you used to love but now hate



I used to be a huge disco fan. These days I hear a song like Jive Talkin' and I can't help but notice how dumb it is. There is absolutely no jive talking in the song.
