AZ Songwriters Gathering!

Published by

I am so excited to be invited again this year to perform a couple of original songs! I am still wrestling with which two but I think I am close to deciding. A really cool part of this special day each year is the Songwriters’ Challenge. It is really my favorite part of the whole day. I think because I have to be creative and think outside the box. The organizers give us four titles and we get to pick one to frame our song to share with the group at the Ballad Tree. I chose the title “Words Never Spoken”. I think I may even perform it as one of my two original songs this year. Last year I picked the title “As Long as It Takes” and wrote about my husband Mike. I think it turned out pretty good and some were even starting to harmonize with me after awhile. The song this year is one that is relatable on many levels and with so many situations. I will be interested to see what people think it is about and see it through their eyes….fun times for sure!
