What is on your Playlist/s? Why?

Get a YouTube ready of a song on the Playlist, if you would like to share it.

Are they instrumental or lyrics in the music?

Have you written any songs inspired by your playlist?

Do you play any of the music on your playlist?

Extra, just a prompt:

Use three or more of these words in a song:

rain, trains, inspired, salvation, licorice, truth, magnet, juggle, reality, wrench.

Then we'll play some songs--originals or covers.

Here's what will be happening on Sunday, October 16 at 2 p.m.

Carl will be Coaching, with Trish Hosting.

(Hey, how 'bout Trish's solo event last week!?!)

“One tune with many random verses equals a new song.”

Everyone lets write a song! Write a four line verse about anything. Sing it to

This Land Is Your Land by Woody Guthrie.

Bearing in mind, of course, that the tune is the Carter Family's Little Darlin' Pal of Mine.

Woody Guthrie-This Land Is Your Land

We will put it all together and see what song we can create.

Then we will play songs and or ask for feedback on a song you need help with finishing or a question.

Here's how to get to the workshop:
