Enough political banter for one U.S. election year. This is first article of Serve The Song, a blog about the craft of songwriting, production, and shameless self-promotion of the stuff we hold so dear to our artistic hearts - our music. Welcome.
Serve The Song?
Serve the song. It’s a saying that sums up the essence of what we do as songwriters. In a way, I see the process of writing a song as a series of small decisions which craft the direction and overall presentation of the musical idea.
You know you’re on to something good when the song itself begins to dictate these decisions. The song takes on a life of it’s own, and it’s up to you as the songwriter to harness it’s energy, and give the song what it wants, or take away what it doesn’t. Stay true to your inspiration. Serve the song.
Who am I?
I’m one of you. A songwriter and lover of well-crafted musical works. No big flashy success stories here, and absolutely no ego-mania… Just a healthy flow of ideas to share and a desire to connect with others like myself.

Stay Tuned…
Obviously, this blog is still in it’s infancy. Content-wise, you can expect a variety of directions, all relating to to the craft of songwriting, recording and production techniques, live performance tips, and both online and offline promotion ideas.
As for the website, I’ll be continuously tinkering with the layout, adding cool and useful features, and nurturing a growing community of like-minded people.
Serve The Song is born…
