Songwriting...

You pick up your guitar. You start playing how you're feeling – music isn't theory, it's feeling… vibration. You begin noodling away in an abstract manner, like a child with a crayon on a blank sheet of paper. Words come… stumbling… like the halting conversation you had with the pretty girl at the bus stop when you were seventeen. Your heart knows what you want to say, but your mind is too dumb to say it. Wait… there's a chink of light through the door to… to… somewhere. Every emotion you have ever felt has suddenly become your palette… but you can't find the right brush. But sometimes you can! The woman you immediately noticed at the party is talking to someone else… but no, wait... she just looked your way! Ah, the uncertainty, the promise… the chase… the seduction of songwriting. The never-ending search for melody and feeling… the connection to the heart. Welcome to my website!
