Internet Music Making Extravaganza

So, I just co-wrote a song with someone on the other side of the planet. How cool is the internet?

A singer/songwriter/pianist from Wisconsin, Nancy Rost has been nothing but nice to me every since we "met" during the February Album Writing Month challenge in 2007. Now we're onto 50/90 2008 - 50 songs in 90 days, starting on the 4th of July and finishing on the 1st of October. One of my aims for 50/90 was to do some collaborating with other songwriters so I was thrilled when Nancy agreed to co-write a song with me.

The resulting result can be found at my 50/90 page *points to link to your upper right hand side* - it's called "When The Fire" and is loosely based on my adventures filling up the gas bottle for our heater. Which doesn't sound like much of a reason to write a song but let me tell you, it gets pretty cold in winter. The gas heater is a Very Good Thing. Also: there was a cute boy at the petrol station. And the song goes on and gets more fictionalised in the process... his English was fine. Really it was. But you can take liberties with songwriting. That's the beauty of it. And it's not lying! Cos it's a song! That's also pretty cool.

So yeah. Have a listen if you want (directly here, if you're too lazy to go alllll the way up to sidebar and find the song etc. etc.) - I recorded it, Nancy wrote the music, we both wrote the lyrics and I think it's safe to say that we both had a heck of a lot of fun.

Adios,
Rose
