Song Writers association of canada pose another challenge
Write a song , full story included in it
The song is about a man losing his mind to Alzhiemers and his lady, partner wife staying with him and going through it too

This week has been a hot one with high humidity so staying indoors with no Airconditioning was impossible, work was late and long, so writing was right til the the last minute, literally 4 hours  to write and record
Bearing in mind my walls are paper thin, so road noise and neighbors are a factor
Its not the greatest, unpolished and rough. lots id like to change about it but ....its a challenge, right?

So the Song writers challenge was a challenge!!
2 chords and i had one day to write and record it!
Frustrating but it was fun, what is a challenge if its not work?
So i had the 2 chords jammed out, made the melody for the chorus and found a subject i like or felt attached to. Once the chorus was settled on the verses became a little easier to write
I sent the song to person who know their music, plays piano  and loves a lot of tunes from all eras, she gave me some solid advice
Its not perfect, time was running out, but at some point i have to stop messing with it and rearranging it

Off for a surf!!

So, i signed up for the Songwriters Association of Canada and the challenge they set is 6 days to write a song with only 2 chords!
Im finding a few challenges,
#1 the intense heat  here! The city in the midst of a 38 degree heat wave so being in side with no aircon is hard
# Lyric and arrangement...i am struggling with these and im at day 4 so one day left as im away this weekend working

To Canada

The move from the UK back to Canada is proving fun after Zoom airlines went bust, all companies up their prices, surprise there eh!

Nico at Artistic kayakwear has been a great help since being in the UK and for their support for our Grand Canyon trip, gonna post the latest on that soon.

Fluid are in line to move to North America to help their production so as soon as i get info on the new gear, where to get your paws on it and even try it out ill let you know!

The Ottawa river has been high all summer, so hopefully when i get there this week it will have dropped so to get the small boats out! 

Some creeking missions planned for Quebec so if there are any boaters planning a trip there get in touch and ill let you know where and what is running and fun!

Be good.. n' if ya cant, be good at it!!
