Ever get discouraged in your songwriting? Today's tool helps me get inspired again. It comes from singer-songwriter-instrumentalist-teacher-philosopher Don Richmond. It's called "The Water and The Conduit" and I hope you find it as helpful as I do.
You can check out Don's music and more on http://donrichmond.com/dons.htm. Plus, Don's written an extraordinary book called "Getting Your Music Past the Fear." You can order a copy through his website.
By the way, you can hear some of the music I've written at my biz website: www.ChocolateStrawberryStudios.com
Thanks again for listening. And please comment - I look forward to hearing what you think!

Great shows, I've downloaded all of them, and love sitting with my headphones and listening. Tons of great ideas, and the songs you've picked as examples are fantastic. I'm a long time sideman, who's recently started writing. It's obvious that your a great writer just by the way you present the shows. Please keep posting them!
Thanks so much for your kind words! I feel a personal mission in life to help other songwriters (and myself) be able to feel good about writing songs and to have lots of tools to help them. I'm glad if my suggestions are helping you in your writing! I'm trying to post new entries every two weeks. I've been wonderfully busy these past three weeks so I'm a little behind, but I'll be posting more soon. Also, you might like to check out the ArtOfTheSong.org website. You can stream my segment (there it's called Song Analyst), as well as the Creativity Corner segment and some entire shows. Just check out the "Listen" page. All the best in your writing!
