Keeping up with the Jameses
Another great day of writing today. I finished up a Southern Gospel song with Marty we started last time we wrote together. We are excited about the hook (title). It is amazing to us that no one has written it before. He did a search at ASCAP and BMI to make sure. The quote of the day.... “This is so...not you” referring to the obvious contrast of that song with my typical writing genre. It has been fun learning from Marty, he has been writing and producing Southern Gospel for a long time.
Lunch was with Dean who works at Provident in the Praise Hymn production department and helps with worship in a local church. I met him at write about Jesus last year.
After lunch I had another great session with Simon. After working through the post lunch energy dip, we finally chased down the right idea and came up with one of those fun, up-tempo songs that just grooves.
A few minutes ago I just e-mailed a second verse for Jaime to look at for the song we wrote yesterday. After listening to the work tape again I think it may be one of my best co-writes so far. It flows and soars...I can really picture it in a concert moment.
Jodie and Jubi hit the Zoo today. Jubi rode the carousel 3 times. She couldn't wait to tell me about that and the funny stork who sat on his backward knees.
Two more appointments tomorrow. James and another Jamie. What is it with all these Jameseseses?
