This is the result of a stunning lack of rehearsing. I write these little songs as I am recording them and as a result there is no actual rehearsing of anything involved. I do it all on the spot. I really enjoy that process but sometimes…

The RPM Challenge site's Record Every Month Challenge has an entry for June. This one started out in May but it was just the chords from the chorus in the little music memo file on my iPhone. It didn't actually become a song until June. It…
