Having a rough Monday? Well maybe this will brighten your day. Here’s your chance to peek into a songwriter’s journal. Every Monday I’ll post a “rough” from my catalog of rough ideas. Most of these are grainy, hissy, horrible tape recordings from my trusty little cassette recorder. You have no idea how hard this is for me. I’m a perfectionist with my music, but even I admit there is a certain raw charm and honesty in these roughs. Well, sometimes it’s charming. Sometimes it’s downright embarrassing. Feel free to poke fun, tease, or comment to your hearts desire. I can take it.
This first one is a little song that I made up for my kids. I have no idea why “it would be alright with me” that the moon’s on fire. But hey, it’s a kid’s song.
It’s a hit as far as my little girl is concerned. I have played this short 3 times for her now back to back.
