I started working with a songwriting group in 2017 and we write a song a week So I have been uploading them to soundcloud and now that I used up all my free space there so I decided to build this site.
It has been really fun, a song a week is a challenge. We get a prompt on Monday morning and it has to be recorded and uploaded by midnight Sunday night. Ray Wylie Hubbard gave a good piece of advice for songwriters. He said when you finidh a song ask yourself ,Can I sing this song for the next 50 years? So I haven’t ever learned any of these.I just write them and then it’s time to write another one. I’ve never learned a song, I just write them. Choruses are for people who aren’t payin attention. So here you go, Just scan down the list until a title grabs you, click on that one.
