      wouldn't matter - copyright for the lute piece is probably outa date!

      Ahh...  I know a guy who woke up one morning, went to his desk and wrote a new song. I happened to be word for word, melody and chords to Take Me To The River by the Doobie Brothers... his band mates laughed their heads off apparently.

       

      It's easy to do.

  4. My "Lyric A Day" petered out, but only because I felt I needed to take a second, third, etc look at a few of them. Write on!

    1. Kel

      @john, I challenged myself to spur the creative juices by forcing myself to write, not expecting much from it. However a couple came out that I think are worth some development. Generally I agree with quality over quantity, but the juices must keep flowing.

    Dropped a message from the sky,

    As I wiped it from my eye,

    I thanked the lord that cows don't fly!

      Done my writing for today... just posted #4 in a personal challenge to write a lyric a day.

       

      I spent a little time stalking you yesterday. Didn't learn much, lol

       

      I'm interested to hear the story of how you ended up in Nashville, when you have time.

       

      As for me, this last week and a bit, I've unpacked a guitar, practice some nearly every day, been writing every day (well, the last 4 days...) and starting to get the fire back. I've even loaded CD's into the car! George Strait of course!

       

      I try listening to our local Country radio station, but I don't get much of a chance, It's run by the indigenous folk here so there is a lot of political hoohah on it which I get fed up with... just want the music!

       

      Got myself hitched again (3rd time lucky?) Sept 2016 and planning a trip to Hawaii next year. I haven't travelled overseas since 1977! The trip after that may be US mainland... Nic has no interest in Nashville, but has interest in New Orleans, so we might do those two cities. I have always wanted to immerse myself in the Music Row experience... Bluebird Cafe etc. Might even catch up with a friend!!! New Orleans should be interesting too. I like Blues and Nic doesn't mind Jazz, so we should be able to find something we both like there.

       

      Cheers for now

  6. Wow... we have our own feed now?

    1. Kel

      At this stage, I am committing myself to the lyric a day, and a critique a day, but I've missed a few there, and practicing on my guitar 4-5 days per week. I'm also aiming at submitting works to Tamworth Songwriting Contest and the Australian Songwriting Contest this year.

       

      Not putting too much pressure on myself other than what I can do.

    1. Kel

      Unfortunately not. The fire went out one day. Packed up my guitars, put away my keyboard, closed all my notebooks. Didn't even listen to music!

       

      Happy to say, it's back!

       

      I've embarked on a personal challenge to write a lyric a day. # days in and going well...

  18. Hi everyone! My name is Sophia, what does everyone here do, talk about? I'm new to the site so any advice would be awesome!

    1. Kel

      Hi Sinesta, welcome to Songstuff. There are several forums where you can talk about all sorts of things, and sometimes the less you know about it the better! Or so it seems sometimes.

      With your experience, you can really help out in the Lyric and Song Critique forums! Just jump in and join in anywhere, most of us only nip, not bite! Kel

  21. Having mastered the piano, I'm now teaching myself to play the guitar.. Looks difficult, but looking forward to getting some use out of the guitar I've had in my wardrobe since I was 12!

    1. Kel

      I'm interested to hear what you do with the lion and the witch!

      fair point.

  23. Bought a mandolin today. Can't wait to start learning it. :D

      There you go, something a bit different to the standard guitar. Nice choice.

  24. Is there any type of cure for writers block... :/

    1. Kel

  25. My feet are tapping in 7/8. Is that normal?

    1. Kel

      That is a little unusual, but nothing to worry about. Perhaps you are unleashing your inner Jazz player! As long as you're not tapping away in 17/32, I wouldn't worry.
