Song For Woody

This song was written in five minutes (if you believe that).

Songs are Quantum

David Lowrey (Cracker, Camper Van Beethoven), had this to say when discussing the origin of his song Guarded by Monkeys:

Songs sometimes don’t have linear and specific narratives, that is why they are songs and not short stories.  Elements remain unformed and ambiguous, and that is what makes a song interesting. Songs can have multiple parallel meanings and they can all be true.  They are quantum in that way.

I find it very difficult to write a non-linear song, yet my favorite songwriters are adept at it. When a song I've written is not tied together as a clear narrative, I find myself wanting to apologize or explain.

Note to self: Get over that.

   

The New Old Schedule

Looks like the last Monday of each month is the winner.


To get back on schedule, we'll be having two meetings this month.  The next meeting will be July 26, this month.

Get writing!

I Googled "wrote song in one hour" and this is what I found:

Ch...ch...ch...ch...ch...changes...

For the longest time, we met on the last Monday of the month.  Then something happened that shifted our schedule to the first Monday of each month.  I can't remember what it was.

Mayan calendar? Chronosynclastic infundibulum? Or maybe Matt Hall wrote a song that lasted into the following week. But something happened.

The first Monday works for some of us, but perhaps not all of us, or not even most of us.  So at our last meeting, we decided to put up a poll.

It's clear that Mondays are preferred. But which Monday?

The first Monday conflicts the monthly meeting of the Grand Canyon Guitar Society and possibly another regular meeting which our members may wish to attend.

Take the poll at the right, and help us decide whether to change to a new Monday, or keep the schedule as it is.

Leave a comment below if you have a different idea.

Thanks.
