I wavered on whether or not to put in-progress pieces of work up, but decided if I’m taking y’all through the process, I’ll share and bare and hope you’ll like.

The song “Future Psychic Girlfriend” was merely a title I liked. I jotted down a few words that it inspired and got a tune in my head. Last night I figured it out a bit on my $50 Mitchell (pictured above) and recorded the snippet/sketch on my Android phone using the FourTracks Lite app – just something to get the idea down – here it is:

I slept on it (the song, not the guitar) and came up with another verse and few more bits of lyrical madness. I’m thinking new wave with  a little funk/disco – I really want to have some fun with this one. I’ve got the title to the tune of Shake Your Groove Thing by Peaches & Herb in my head, but I’ve really got to steer away from that as it’s now being used to market incontinence products.

I also got an idea for another song, tentatively titled “Regular Folk.” Don’t know exactly where I’ll go with it. I volunteer pretty regularly at the Philadelphia Folk Festival and some years they really stretch the boundaries of what one might consider folk music. While I thoroughly enjoyed Todd Rundgren performing what was basically a Utopia concert a few years back, much of my group of ‘folkies’ were less-than-thrilled.

Hoping to get to Guitar Center today to get me an Audio Interface – yay!

Rocking on,
