Maybe there is a song in your experience of trying to write that song....there's definitely an interesting story there.

Hey Bill - I'll post the link here as soon as it's uploaded to my profile/page and no, you don't need to join soundcloud to hear it. I use soundcloud just because it is really easy to upload a songs so long as you can keep the file size down...and the whole "it's free" part doesn't hurt either.

Thanks Joe - I plan on recording it and putting it up on my soundcloud site tomorrow morning. Nothing fancy - just me & my guitar & tapping toe.

I like it Mojo. Going to try it out when I get home. Reminds me of some of JJ Cale's work.

Re: songwriting. (15 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant is about 23 minutes long, Alice - Before Time Began is just over 30 minutes, but he has many songs that are well under a minute. So I guess a good song can be really sort or really long...but if it is long it's got be able to hold the listener's interest and attention, not always easy.

Thanks Ken. I used those chords because I felt they helped the progression into the chorus, while still keeping the tune cowboy.
