Spin Tunes 17 round 3
Written as a shadow for the Spintunes 17 third round challenge "Coming or Going?: Write a song that features palindromes - structures whose elements are ordered the same forwards and backwards.

All You Are To Me
A song of thanks! Inspired by a combination of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 New International Version (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with ( Read more... ) -
Spintune 15 rd 2 Song Bio- I Wish (shadow)
The song
I Wish
I was young, but I was dying
Didn’t think that I’d see twenty
I would never have a husband
Or children in my life
She was young, her life was over
Taken from you in an instant
You would never hold her children
She would never be a wife
Oh, I wish you could see her!
See her playing in the yard
I wish you could meet ( Read more... ) -
It's a Strange New World- ST 15 round 1
So I am writing this after seeing that I am *sob!* once again at the top of the bottom, yet again I am the bridesmaid, but not the bride!
*Shrugs* Big deal, I am still going to do shadows, like always, and not have a personal bovine moment about it. After all- I/we really didn't work on the song very much.
Halloween week was crazier than usual for ( Read more... ) -
Spintunes Opening Song
I did the lyrics to the tune of TailSpin, since I generally find it easier to compose to an established song, then create a new song to fit the lyrics. I recorded over a karaoke track of it and submitted- hey, we were not in competition anyway, and I LIKED it. Ted and I also submitted the version with his original tune. He had a lot of ( Read more... ) -
Duck Calls and Tofu
I got some tofu milk, Che ba ba and fried mushroom and onion tofu last week, along with the usual 1 lb of BBQ tofu "beef".
Tofu is made of soybeans. As in, beans. The musical fruit.
I swear to God, is sounds like I have a duck call stuck up my butt at times... -

First I had to decide which famous deceased actor or singer I wanted to choose. Since Tom Smith had already done the heart-wrenching "A ( Read more... ) -
Promises promises.
I promised someone NOT to type anything on the LP tonight, so I didn't. Until the very very end, when I was allowed to add a period and a carriage return, adding my name to the chat page.
I'll be there in 2 weeks Spin, and for your final show...see you then!
