Songwriters'

We had a great songwriters’ session last night. Good music all round.  Our next gathering date is Thurs., Aug 16th at 7:30pm.  The  venue is changed to the board room where we’ll have access to the computer and projector that we had last night.  The library does have several Dream Theater CDs, a group that was mentioned last night, and if Pagan's Mind is a Norwegian Prog/Power metal band there are none in the system, but I’ll make a purchase request. Thanks, Michael.  Another group mentioned was Moby and there are several in the collection to choose from, so I’ll be checking them out on Carlos’ recommendation.  I visited the Old Town School of Music website last night to see what classes they are offering. I might try to squeeze in the one about chords (something I missed in my years of piano lessons). And thank you Pam for the tip on the Second City performance workshops http://www.secondcity.com/training/chicago/coursecatalog/  -those that came last might have missed that announcement -they have songwriting workshops too! Pam accepted last month’s challenge to write a song about cheese or independence and delivered another fun song – all about cheese! Michael accepted the challenge to put Norm’s reading to music – can’t  wait to hear the results next month.
