Look! I'm Alive!

Ack. I feel like it has taken me a million years to get a new song up here. I'm sorry it's taken me so long. Also, I apologize for missing any time-sensitive letters.

I am not dead or dying or anything like that. I really don't have a good excuse for not posting for an entire month. I just fell into a songwriting slump and found myself incapable of writing any music. It was awful but happens from time to time and is just a part of the creative process.

Ironically, one of the letters sitting in my inbox was asking for advice on writing. This is what it said:

I love to write, but I've been having trouble getting started lately. Well, I just haven't had a whole lot of time. Suggestions?

-Sarah

Tonight, I finally overcame my month-long creative dryspell and hammered out a response. It's not the best but hopefully it's better than a poke in the eye.



So, there you have it - The Musical Advice Column is back. :)

Need advice in the form of a song? Shoot me an email. I would love to hear from YOU!

Thanks for tuning in, amigos! I promise I won't wait a month this time to supply you with a new song. In the meantime, you can leave me comment love and let me know what you think of this song. :)

Over and out.

Response to Nancy: When The Tornado Strikes

Good morning, Interwebs! Hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday. Things are a little crazy this weekend. My band has a show in Portland tomorrow night, so there's been a lot of last minute practicing going on (not to mention my ongoing debate with myself over what I should wear...). But I shall take a break from all of the pre-show chaos to bring you today's bit of musical advice. :)

So without further ado, here is today's letter:

Dear Lauren,

I am stuck in Oklahoma and the tornado sirens are going off. I already put my cello in the bathtub and covered it with sofa cushions. The weather forecasters are saying that there is a tornado heading at me at 30 mph. Actually, they are using the terms "rotation" and "circulation", they aren't saying tornado. The advice they are giving is pretty epic: they say that everybody who is in a mobile home should evacuate right now. !!! Lol, Oklahoma. Should I cower in my bathroom, or should I watch the storm?

Nancy

And here I am rocking the keytar in my sweatpants, telling Nancy to get the hell out of Oklahoma.



I'm so keytarded. Hehe.

On a side note, I started up a Facebook page for this advice column. You can become a fan here and recieve updates in your daily news feed.

That's all I've got for today. Keep the letters rolling in!
