Creating My Own Music. Follow Jimmy's quest to write 20 songs by the end of the year. Friday, October 7, 2011. A Visit to a Kensington Market Music Store. Last week I was instructing a course in Brampton Ontario. I stayed an extra day to tour around Toronto since I haven't done that in 20 some years. One place I've had on my bucket list for many years was to visit was Kensington Market. So that was my first priority. What caught my eye though was the odd and strange musical instruments hanging in the win...

Creating My Own Music: So, How's The Songwriting Going
http://creatingmymusic.blogspot.com/2011/12/so-hows-songwriting-going.html
Creating My Own Music. Follow Jimmy's quest to write 20 songs by the end of the year. Sunday, December 4, 2011. So, How's The Songwriting Going. Since we've been in the studio, my songwriting has taken a back seat. So has our appearances playing in public. We've been concentrating so much on the recording, that we haven't focused on anything else. Sometimes when I put too much pressure on myself to write something, I come up empty. Usually, when songs come to me is when I'm relaxed and often not even...

Creating My Own Music. Follow Jimmy's quest to write 20 songs by the end of the year. Saturday, July 19, 2014. We Put The Songs First. I can't believe its been 2 years since my last posts. I haven't been writing much lately. I still don't completely understand what inspires songwriters to write every day, maybe there's only a few writers who can do that. We brought a few friends into the studio. Some backing vocals by Wanda and Izzy. Fiddle by Kyle. Electric guitar leads by Breezy. Drums ...After getting...

Creating My Own Music. Follow Jimmy's quest to write 20 songs by the end of the year. Thursday, August 18, 2011. I took my guitar and Banjo and we had planned earlier in the day to play My Dream Automobile, Two Feet in the Water, and Clouds of Alberta. Normally, we'd play these songs in this order, but I'll tell you later what we did. So lessons learned from last night:. Learn to sing;. You already knew that. And Lastly. ONE MORE SLEEP! Then I'm off to Nashville. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I am ...

Creating My Own Music: Grand Ole Opry
http://creatingmymusic.blogspot.com/2011/08/grand-ole-opry.html
Creating My Own Music. Follow Jimmy's quest to write 20 songs by the end of the year. Saturday, August 20, 2011. Here I am in Nashville. A work trip. I was supposed to work at the Edmonton Blues Fest this weekend too. But a chance to go to Nashville. Common. What would you choose? One thing about the Grand Ole Opry, they encourage you to come up to the edge of the stage and take photos. No videos though, but with all the technology today, how would they know. I don't have video on my camera anyway.

Creating My Own Music: Writing Again
http://creatingmymusic.blogspot.com/2011/12/writing-again.html
Creating My Own Music. Follow Jimmy's quest to write 20 songs by the end of the year. Monday, December 26, 2011. After a long drought, I finally got writing again. Sunday morning being Christmas morning, if you can believe it, I picked up my guitar and wrote a song called Sunday Morning Blues. I had been playing around with some music on Christmas Eve and the whole lyrics came to me in about 10 minutes on Christmas morning. I am still amazed how that happens. Woke up on the street. Where they are worn".

Creating My Own Music. Follow Jimmy's quest to write 20 songs by the end of the year. Sunday, August 21, 2011. Broadway Street and the Ryman Theater. What a day. Yesterday was a day of meetings and our Board banquet, so we didn't get out and about. Today our board meetings ended at noon. I rented a car and three of us headed to downtown Nashville. We really had no idea what to expect. We knew we wanted to see the Ryman theater - the "Church of Country music". Earnest Tubbes Record Store.

Creating My Own Music: The Humble Naked Truth
http://creatingmymusic.blogspot.com/2011/12/humble-naked-truth.html
Creating My Own Music. Follow Jimmy's quest to write 20 songs by the end of the year. Tuesday, December 6, 2011. The Humble Naked Truth. Don watching Rick work his magic. Don had gone into the studio to put down and guitar track and a vocal track, and then Rick sent it off to us so we could practice at home. I have to admit, I wasn't getting the feel of the song from those tracks, and my confidence playing on the banjo went further down. B rian on bass with all eyes watching. Kyle warming up the fiddle.
