June's Theme

Song Craft: This is as much about listening as it is about creating meaningful songs. What makes a good song good? Why do I keep writing the same song, over and over? If you have to explain a song, it's not done yet.

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 June 8 and at Artichoke Community Music on June 15. Save the dates!

And don't forget the weekly session with our partners, Warrior Beats on Wednesdays at 6 PST:
