still at it



                    WEDNESDAY 12/05/18 7:06PM--started a song last night, just finished it...the Music came from LAVENDER DAWN...I dunno if it's any good, but I think it is...I'm considering playing GET HIM OUT, my anti-Chump song in public...MY desire? ignore the subject matter, judge the song...looking forward to Saturday--the SAW workshop AND the sit-in with Ray--Tish says she's gonna be there...we'll see...Dianne sez she's fine with all that activity...we'll see...
               THURSDAY  12/06/2018 NOON--I plan on going to the SAW open mic tonight and pay attention to the songwriters...hopefully I'll be sitting by myself, or at least NOT sitting with Nancy...I actually don't think I'm gonna get the chance to listen to the performers all that much...but ya never know...
     Turns out the best place to hear the song writers’ songs is on their website…assuming they have one-I’ve collected two business cards already…Michelle just came in...she of course has a website; I suspect every songwriter, good or bad has one...
   Michelle said she was going to come over and visit me, but she has yet to do that…getting nervous/excited about Saturday...
    I don’t know if he was kidding or not, but John Trupp said to me “come up with an hours worth of material and you could play the singer songwriter showcase”...
             FRIDAY 12/7/18 12:21AM--jumped onstage to assist Michelle with harmonies to a song I'd never heard before...I've kinda forgotten who's song it was..the harmonies sounded pretty damn good though.: got an email from Barry--the Combustibles have a pair of gigs scheduled for next year....
             9:09AM--might use the Music from GET HIM OUT (Industrial Strength) to write some other (non-political) song...one of the songwriters told me that sometimes he'll come up with a chord progression and a melody and he'll scat sing nonsense syllables until the words come...maybe I'll try that while Dianne is seeing the Doctor...
10:18AM--maybe I'll give it some thought while I'm Dianne's Doctor's appointment...I almost started a little while ago...apparently, the Music can/does suggest lyrics...the Music is not at all "warm and fuzzy" so IMO the lyrics oughta be NOT warm and fuzzy...maybe (maybe) my friend Rob is not likely to write anything resembling Rock, but I think *I* can...I'm actually trying not to work on the song now...it's kinda tough...
