Back again for more songwriting jabber. Lots of discussion of rhyming and lyrics, Leonard Cohen, getting the drums right, and Pat Pattison's lyric writing and worksheet process.

Keep on exercising those songwriting muscles.

A good rhyming site www.rhymezone.com

A decent Thesaurus site ARTFL Project

We struggled with expectations after last weeks great show and the great response so decided to go the other direction with a total disaster. Dave and I recorded a show but my audio failed to record so Dave stepped up and quickly recorded a replacement show - which I then mixed. Apologies in advance for any flaws.

Euroamerica - Work of Art Soundclick

David Cooper - Not To Blame Songplanet

Labels: amateur, audio, hit, home, homemade, made, show, song, songwriter, songwriting, vocal

A short and sweet solo show this week. I've been busy with the RPM challenge and Dave is moving office. Always looking for guest hosts for weeks like these so let me know.

Apologies to Mark Tupuhi for incorrectly naming him by his old band name St. Lucy. I read the full email after I'd already recorded the show.
