Your mission this month is twofold:
1. Try creating a boundary between the production of content versus the judging…
Sometimes life tends to repeat itself if you're not careful.... Good to find a moment to recognize old patterns and shake them off.
Great help on this one from the MN Coffee Table Gang - Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, and Mark Lofgren…
A friend got me excited about writing short instrumentals for Video, TV etc and posting them on Pond5 ( A site catering to that type of thing). I recorded this little banjo piece this morning.
I C see it all Em happen on the F evening C news
Am Someone G started C something G
C Running for Em cover, F crying the C blues
Am Your world is G just a C crumbling
