Two weeks in a row with a piano in the room! We're going to get spoiled if this keeps up.
Rich introduced a new songwriting exercise this week-- at the link is a blank sheet for folks to download and print if you need extra. Tom Bohling pulled the very memorable title Igloo Bungalow out of this, and I'm afraid it will stay with me for the rest of my life.
Lastly we discussed bridges and broke down the lyrics to Billy Joel's Piano Man, which goes to show that even in the best written songs there are still wonky lines like 'tonic and gin.' Funny how I never noticed that before: gin and tonic, tonic and gin. I would've sacrificed the words out of order for the rhyme, too. And besides, in Billy Joel's world he can order whatever he wants.
Today we got confirmation that the songwriting class will continue through the middle of May, so we're pleased about that. The new spring session will start on Wednesday, March 16th. Thank you South Shore Arts!
