A new song (weird)

I've been in a real dry spell, writing wise, the last year or so. I think I have 3 new songs since the CD came out.

I can add to that now. I have been wanting to write about my experiences in Mahtowa for 2 years now.

For those of you who are new to my LJ, The Highway 61 Folks Festival is a little music festival where you can hear great original songs every year. I cannot recommend it more highly. It is mostly local folks, mostly amateurs and pretty much entirely great. I have heard some folks who are not real comfortable onstage, but I have heard very few bad songs. I have heard very few mediocre songs. And there are always a bunch of great songs every year.

Well, last year I had a strange encounter with a motel owner and have wanted to write a song about it. If all goes well (and it seems to be) it will be one of my entries into the songwriting contest this year.

Once again ... was there any doubt ???

Your CD collection is almost as big as your ego,
and you can most likely play an instrument or
three. You're a real hit at parties, but you're
SO above karaoke.
What people love: You're instant entertainment.
Unless you play the oboe.
What people hate: Your tendency to sing louder than
the radio and compare everything to a freaking
song.


What Kind of Elitist Are You?

I corrected the spelling of oboe

sounds right to me

Wackiness: 66/100
Rationality: 44/100
Constructiveness: 68/100
Leadership: 62/100

You are a WECL--Wacky Emotional Constructive Leader. This makes you a people's advocate. You are passionate about your causes, with a good heart and good endeavors. Your personal fire is contagious, and others wish they could be as dedicated to their beliefs as you are.

Your dedication may cause you to miss the boat on life's more slight and trivial activities. You will feel no loss when skipping some inane mixer, but it can be frustrating to others to whom such things are important. While you find it difficult to see other points of view, it may be useful to act as if you do, and play along once in a while.

In any event, you have buckets of charisma and a natural skill for making people open up. Your greatest asset is an ability to make progress while keeping the peace.
