blUGHing and More on Lyric Writing

Things don't always go as planned

I spent way more time than I had planned getting the blog layout working, and there are still things I would like to do. This reminds me of why I'm giving up on web development. It's like pushing a rope. Uphill. Back and forth, back and forth, trying to get some stupid little thing working. Ugh.

I heard back from Keri. "I liked the first one, it fits the song well and I think hold and control are a good fit, sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees and all that..thanks!" That's cool, and hopefully a start for more collaborating, but really I only wrote one line. Still, I'm thinking about seeing if she's interested in the song I wrote for Beth Black, "Because." This song of Keri's reminded me of "Because." OTOH, I'd like to see if Beth herself wants it first, for obvious reasons.

Lyric Writing and Blogging

Wrote lyric with Keri, worked on this blog, other news

This is actually the first entry in this blog. The "previous" entries are backfilled, but there's some stuff there that is just too good to ignore!

This morning I saw a message from Keri Richardson that she was looking for help with her song, "Up To No Good," kind of a light soul song, like india arie, as she described it. I've sent her two ideas I had for the verse, I am excited to see what she thinks of it.

I told my niece Nicole about this Big Adventure, and she's excited. She actually writes some, plays guitar and sings. I don't know if it's more than a hobby for her, but maybe we can work together sometime.

I heard from Connie, Jeff's wife, and she says it's 100% sure they are moving back to Houston. They don't expect Jeff to come back to the band, but we've already talked about collaborating on songwriting, as he hopes to have some free time once he starts his new job. We could also do stuff like the Houston Musician's Meetup, where Blue Funk could play our three songs as Blue Funk, and then we could "back" Jeff on his songs, even if Rebecca sings them.
