Topic: Summer of Love (1 replies, posted in Songwriting)
This song was Phill's idea , I helped with the lyrics a bit.
I think he did a masterful job. So much fun collaborating across the water.
Bouncing ideas back and forth was really a very cool experience for me,and as a novice,
I learned a lot from working with Phill.
I put it up on sound cloud - here is the link https://soundcloud.com/tigljk/summer-of-love
Hope you have as much fun listening to it as we did making it.
Jim ( and Phill)

First of all, I must thank Graham for recording a version earlier for me. He sounded so good on his acoustic, i decided to ask Jim Cristaldi, a friend in Nashville, to record it. I think it came out pretty good.

I liked Home of the Brave - I agree w Graham...... would like the lyrics of such an important message front the guitar - I think you are right that acoustic would accomplish that. That being said -- excellent man !! I enjoyed it !

Please give Graham my very best wishes for a quick and complete recovery. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Thanks for notifying us, many prayers have great results! When you speak to him or Pam give him our best from all us Chordians. This just further exemplifies the last song I wrote and posted. Enjoy every day !

Re: Forever Might Only Be For A While (Sad, but uplifting song) (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Thank you. I wrote it because in the past month I have seen way too many friends, (including a seven year old) succumbing to cancer or other maladies at way too young of an age. I found myself looking at a photo of one of them and I had my guitar in my hands. Just starting writing down some emotions in my head, mostly thinking about how life is so precious. It kinda came back to that Butch Walker video (21 + Over) I posted earlier where he says go live your life, do your bucket list , now !
Anyways, even though I am just a rookie songwriter that can't sing a lick, I am hopeful that even if one person gets the message and does something today or the next that they might not have done, then it was worth the time and effort.
As far as the misting, I've played it a hundred times, still hard me too bc I think of the people I lost, but then at the end I remember that they would want me not to sit around and mourn , but go live in their place and honor. Thanks again for the kudos.

Re: For TIGLJK (4 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Roger, I thought the experiment went pretty good - some good ideas and lyrics. Not nearly as serious or well done as your original, but it was fun to anticipate the forthcoming lines. Although I tried to stay out of it, I really enjoyed following it as well. The mini size really caught everyone off guard, what a great perspective . Everyone loves an underdog, unless of course you are President Snow from the Hunger games !
Chordie community is the best regards, Jim
