2-16-11 SONG BOMB Songwriters beating resistance 28 days in a row I had the honor of being part of Timmy Riordan's "Song Bomb" this month. We both wrote and recorded a song in one day using the prompt "Never before, never again" and mulling over the Gulf oil disaster. The Song Bomb is an opportunity for songwriters to lighten up, forget all the ‘rules’ they know about songwriting, and just write songs. The goal is to support songwriters of all levels from those just starting out to touring professionals in vanquishing Resistance, the force that pushes us all towards procrastination Facebook and Farmville. Check out www.thesongbomb.com to see what Jenny and 28 other nationally-touring songwriters like Girlyman, Ellis and Vance Gilbert write each day, to be inspired, and as a catalyst to write a song yourself.
