  • the 52 song project

    The project survived my travels in the West. I wasn't sure how that was going to go, but recording songs on a mountain side and atop a big rock turned out to have its own charm.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    It also taught me again that song ideas are always there, if I pay attention and have a litle faith. The '52 Song Project' continues to liberate me from trying to be perfect, but still tests me every week. I'm hearing a lot about not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good these days in political debate. For me, that just means that if we wait for something of genius before we act, we're pretty useless. So I'll try to make good songs for 52 weeks, though genius may never come around.

    The Project:
    52 songs in 52 weeks from January 1 to December 24, 2009. I'm going to attempt to write a new song (or tackle old unfinished songs) at a pace of one per week.

    I'll record them and post them here, as well as the 52 Songs facebook group and ReverbNation.com. I'm hoping you will take a few minutes to listen and/or download them (for free) and occasionally give me feedback. A few more details.
