Hello Everybody!
This is my first experience with a blog, so I am going forward on a wing and a prayer.
I am a lyricist/storyteller. My days are filled with collecting. I collect phrases, memories, experiences and perspectives that typically result in a song and/or story. Today we created a “Behind the Scenes” video to go along with our story/song “Main Street,” which is about small town American celebrations. We’ll finalize it tomorrow and then post it on YouTube. So look for it tomorrow evening.
What an interesting process this is. We generate more material than I ever imagined possible. In fact, we’ve (my partner, Emerson, and I) written over 100 songs and stories, illustrated by his detailed pencil drawings.
My plan is to use this format to connect with those who find creativity to be interesting. Whether you love music, reading a short (hopefully thoughtful) story, enjoy looking at drawings or just enjoy thinking about life unfolding, maybe there will be something of interest.
So welcome to the UP Side Lowdown. Thanks for reading—and commenting.
