So I was listening to the Forge radio show on my way in to the songwriting workshop at The Freeway Coffee House yesterday. It was a very cool experience listening to the show at 7 and attending the workshop at 8. This last week featured a conversation with Janine Stoll, a great songwriter that I have admired for a while. I loved her songwriting tip. Try to avoid over using the word "and." Don't use the word "and" out of context. She talked about how a lot of songwriter use the word "and" as a place holder and if you tried reading the lyrics they don't really make sense.
Tom is doing a great job hosting the Forge Radio show. If you haven't had a chance to hear it yet, it is on CFMU 93.3 FM every Wednesday evening at 7:00pm for 30 minutes.
The Songwriting workshop is on the second Wednesday of every month at The Freeway Coffee House at 8pm. Hope to see you out next month.
