Don't have to write songs

In about 1974-1975 I was  on  the  road  with  a band in Toronto and the leader  of  the  band
said  to  me  that  if  I  wanted  to  make  it  in this  business I would have to  start writing songs.
I had never  written a song and he was writing songs and we were playing them in his band ....so
I started to write ...as I look back I can see now  that in 99.9% of all the bookings I've had over the years, we didn't have  to  have original songs . We could still make a living playing covers....so I don't really  have  to write  songs to make a go of it .....I could just sing other peoples material and still get  paid ......having said  that ,  there were times when I retained my sanity but performing 2 or 3 of my own songs during a difficult gig....I'm glad I can write now but don't have to...

Live Life in Crescendo .Steven Covey

Live Life in Crescendo!
Friday, December 19th, 2008
I am now 76 years old and could easily retire. But I’m not retired and I don’t plan to retire. I don’t believe in retirement. Why people ask me? Simply, I have a life motto. It is: Live life in crescendo!

Living life in crescendo to me means that my most important work is always ahead of me, never behind me. I believe that “where much is given, much is required.” I have a sacred stewardship to contribute and not to retire to leisure. Also, the greatest way to serve my 50 grandkids is not just to love them and tend to their interests and needs, but to be an example of someone who is constantly making a difference in the world.

Start living your life in crescendo–and remember your most important work is ahead of you, not behind you! There is so much more to do, to learn and contribute...QUOTE by Steven Covey- Blog

FARAWAY PLACES -Doug Voice- LYRICS VIDEO

Dolly Parton quote about songwriting

“It’s therapy. It’s fun. It’s creative. I love getting on a big writing binge and staying up a couple days working on song and knowing at the end of those two or three days that I’ve created something that was never in the world before. It’s like a feeling of creating, not that the same stories ain’t been told before, but it ain’t been told through my point of view. And it’s my way of relaxing. Songwriting is a hobby and to me it’s therapy. It’s a joy. It’s a thrill. It’s like mind exercises or something.”....a Quote by Dolly Parton...........................



David Bowie quote about songwriting

“You write down a paragraph or two describing several different subjects creating a kind of story ingredients-list, I suppose, and then cut the sentences into four or five-word sections; mix ’em up and reconnect them. You can get some pretty interesting idea combinations like this. You can use them as is or, if you have a craven need to not lose control, bounce off these ideas and write whole new sections.”........Quote by David Bowie .

bob dylan quote about songwriting



“If you like someone’s work, the important thing is to be exposed to everything that person has been exposed to. Anyone who wants to be a songwriter should listen to as much folk music as they can, study the form and structure of stuff that has been around for 100 years.” ....Bob Dylan quote on songwriting...

Quote by Joel Mabus on waiting for applause to subside


"After the song is over:...... Don’t address the audience while they are clapping. They cannot hear what you say.  They can read your lips as you say “thank you” but they will miss the witty saying or the names of the band members.  Wait for it to subside". ......© Joel Mabus 2001 .....................................................................................................................................................

quote by Tim Finn on songwriting and the joy of it


"The joy of songwriting only gets messed up if you are trying to follow up a big success, or you are trying to create a hit single, or if you have conscious thoughts of a particular outcome for the music"...Tim Finn........................................................................................
