For those just tuning in, I requested songwriting challenges, and I got a lot of them.

Where's your song? I'm working on it!

It seems that when you haven't picked up your guitar in five and a half years, you forget stuff! Who wouldathunkit?

Also, I'm finding my own standards are a little higher.

So I'm picking up the guitar every day, and having a bash, and trying new things, and waiting for the songs to start crystallizing.

One thing I've figured out is that I'm not going to just start at the top of the list and blast my way down this time. Nope, I gotta start with some of the more accessible requests and rebuild my groove.

Thanks for engaging my brain!
