Class assignment for Coursera songwriting course...and first time I've put myself out here.  It is what it is.

Couldn't Stand The Weather

Hair Of The Dog

A crack at the latest assignment.  Frankly, between sickness and travel, I can't believe I have anything at all.  

Sore Winner

This week's assignment, another crack at last week's song with (hopefully) improved phrasing.

What have I learned from this course?  I've learned some new tools for lyric writing.  I've learned that I need to know a lot more about writing melodies.  And I've learned that I may have a bit of a crush on Pat. Also, I've got a bunch of trite and painful sayings for these last two assignments.  First - write in haste, repent at leisure.  Second - you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.  Third - you can't make a silk purse (or a decent song) out of a sows ear.  Fourth - you can't fit a square peg into a round hole. They all pretty much say the same thing, but they've been yammering at me for a week.  I was working out of town last week and sick to boot and had about an hour to actually select a loop, create a melody, record it and upload.  Can't tell you how disgusted I was to realize I had to use the same song for this week's assignment.  My apologies.
