Logic Police

Alright we're gonna tap the breaks on the previous post. I do enjoy writting but seriously. I'll continue to write for fun...maybe someday down the line I'll give the song writting thing shot.

The hills are alive...

So today I helped a great friend set up a vendors booth at a local "Octoberfest"...Yes I know it's September...don't ask questions! He started a t-shirt company from scratch only a year ago and is about to start showing profits, Amazing! (by the way his link is on the right side of this page)

I got to thinking, "why can't I start something of my own like that?" There are so many things I'm interested in, but I decided on something so far fetched I'm gonna have to really try to make it work. I want to be a Texas Country Song writer. I know, I know, don't quit your day job. But I really do love writing in a casual diction, and I stopped doing poetry like I used to do. Why not write songs for a living?

I completely understand I will have to do lots of research on how to get "in" with the artists' or labels who produce the music. And I also completely understand that I may never sell a song to anyone...but why not try? My goal is to have 4 or 5 songs completed by the new year. That should give me plenty of time to work through the lyrics, come up with a good hook, and see if I can really do this.

"If we live our lives wondering if we can do something we will never know if we could have actually done it"- I'm sure some famous person said it...but if not I'll take credit for it.

So from now on the Texas hills will attempt to be filled with the sound of my music!

Bossier City BABY Bossier City!
