Happy Easter last week!
Last month we kicked off something new
We liked what the vets in Texas were doing with having a song prompt that lasts for the whole month. It gave a little direction to where folks were headed, without being overly programmatic or structured.
So we introduced Themes.
For the month of May, we're celebrating Masters, in particular the Canadian master songwriter Neil Young. Consider his body of work and if it has influenced you, enjoy exploring it. Thanks to Robert for suggesting this one.
Perhaps learn one of his songs to share, or try writing a song that reflects his style or impact.
Future Themes we're envisioning include Masters (great writers), How Stuff Works (how to, from technique to transposition), Play It Like You Mean It (performance), Song Craft.
So, give it a try. Or do what you usually do. We'll have some encouraging words, but no song police will be on duty.
Coming up:
We'll be on Zoom May 4 and 11 and at Artichoke Community Music on May 18. Save the dates!
And don't forget the weekly session with our partners, Warrior Beats on Wednesdays at 6 PST:
