songwriting
July 12: At Smoky Mountain, Joel and I are going to run through our set list for Music from Stanley. So you will be hearing many of my originals, which I don’t play very often. I have gotten positive feedback from other songwriters, and have decided to set aside some insecurities, and share these songs more often. I’m also going to spend less time practicing (for instance:) melodic minor scale licks over blues chords (which always seems to sound bad no matter how many hours I spend on it) and devote more hours/week to crafting songs.
