February Distracions…

I know it has been a long time since I’ve posted something new. I’ve been busy writing songs for February Album Writing Month. It is an online songwriting challenge where participants must write fourteen songs in the twenty eight days of February.  It is a challenge I have been participating in since 2010 & I find very inspiring.

Until next time…
