"To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it." ~ Confucious
Writing music and then performing it is such a wonderful process and release. I truly enjoy the journey as much as the destination. That's so important for me as I'm so results oriented.
The first song I wrote, "I Was Made to Cover You", was written about my Monkey Made of Sockies golf club headcover. I was going to license another artist's music for my music video and found I didn't have time to secure the necessary permissions. So I wrote my own music along with Teresa Widdowson who wrote the wonderful base line. I was ready to hand it over to my cousin's band for arrangement and performance. However, the lead singer got laryngitis on the day of the taping. I was on a tight deadline so I decided to sing it myself.

I'm so glad things worked out that way. Now I'm hooked. I'm half way through my second song and a third is lurking.
This second song was written in response to some false accusations that I overheard about myself. I've got the melody fleshed out and now I'm writing the other tracks.
I'm hoping to have the song done by the next blog. Until then, here's sneak preview of the lyrics:
People Gonna Think What They Think
Did you see that?
She’s over there
Talking to that man
Did you see that?
She got no business
Singing in that band
Did you see that?
There she goes
Golfing with that monkey
People gonna think what they think
Ummmm
People gonna think what they think
So I’ll keep wearing red
And live out loud instead
Cause people gonna think what they think
Did you hear that?
I heard she painted
A nude scene
Did you hear that?
She’s laughing loud
Must be about me
Did you hear that?
There she goes
She’s way too much for me
People gonna think what they think
People gonna think what they think
So I’ll keep wearing red
And live my life instead
Cause people gonna think what they think
Did you see that?
I heard she’s making
Some kind of movie
Did you see that?
Look at her dress
Honestly
Did you hear that?
She played kazoo
Right in front of me
People Gonna think what they think
Yeaaaaaah People gonna think what they think
So I’ll keep wearing red
And live my life instead
Cause people
gonna think
what they
think
Umm Ummmmmm
People
Gonna think
What they
Think
Wooooooooo
