I thought my songwriting days were over around 2005. Then I discovered FAWM.

Forced creativity. You can't beat it.

I'm not sure what this year will bring. I've been working on a recording project off and on, so it would be wonderful if I could write a new song or two to add to that.

Looking forward to seeing what everyone else gets up to.

I have a YouTube channel where I talk about music. Check it out here:

Ok, it's go time.

Hey Todd, it would be cool to hear a few more of your Early years originals from the lost archives. "Norem, The Early Years"
Unlike many previous years, this summer and fall I did a good job of keeping a journal of ideas. And fortunately for me, i've got more time this year to write/record. Its pretty slow at work so I am taking long weekends and just really pouring out the lyrics. I fear, that i am about to hit a wall soon, and may struggle to finish 14. but so far i'm really enjoying it. As always im struggling with melodies. so if you got any extra music, i got plenty of lyric ideas. 😀

Hey Todd thanks for the kind words on Janeys place. It’s a cool place to hang out. I wrote about a different place last year. That was a real cowboy bar up the road called Harold’s Corral. Very different vibe. Janeys is much more my kind of music. As for me playing there … I’m way too shy and not nearly as good as the pros that play there. It’s usually full bands that have been playing there for years. It would be cool though. If you’re ever in town I’d take u there you’d love it!

Todd, I know 20 years is insane. My first year, i just posted lyrics. I couldnt play guitar, and had no means for recording. Took my first lessons the next summer. Then the first few years I was just learning guitar, and posted extremely poor quality recordings.. I unearthed one of them from like 09 I had on an old Hard drive, and wow - embarrassing. I'd like to think i've gotten better at the whole recording and playing part.. but the whole point is still about writing. That part is getting easier, but not sure its better 😀
