She Is

Sometimes I enjoy going back and hearing the metamorphosis from the first moment of inspiration to the final product. This is called “She Is”. One of my favorites.

I don’t think I could ever improve on this rough…

Mystery Artist

Here’s a rough from about three years ago. Whoever can identify this guy first will win a free cd. (When I’m finished with it)

Hint: He’s won numerous dove awards and the title of his first album was an emotion.

To the mystery artist in case you look at this… I hope you don’t get mad at me. Email me if you don’t want to be this week’s mystery artist.

The Moon’s On Fire

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.
