Don’t Fret 10

The hard part of writing songs is when you are being requested to write one instead of letting it hit you like any good muse does.  

That was the problem when Mom was asking for a song written for her.  What would I write about?  How I loved the fact that she stayed with us when we were kids?  How awesome her casseroles were?  How I love her infectious laugh?  No!  There had to be a stronger song out there to be sung.

As with all good jam sessions, the first night is always magical as the excitement of playing together again fuels us through sore fingers.  Unfortunately the recording of that night stopped halfway through as I didn’t have a large memory card inserted.  I was quite upset at that fact and rectified that by purchasing the largest card I could find the next day.
