The following is an excerpt from the second track, Punkie and the Spitfires.
It's a song about a three-piece band - perhaps the ultimate band - who save the world!
she was a young woman living in dystopian times
fighting "The Forces" any way that she could...

I've always been interested in ways to express ideas and emotions through music. As a kid I would write my own lyrics to popular songs. As I learned to play trumpet I would create my own melodies. As I became interested in singing I began to learn more about chord progressions. By the time I was in college I started to get more serious about trying to compose and arrange - turns out it was hard! I attended the Grove School of Music and Dick Grove's teachings would provide me with a solid foundation and I'm still building upon that and continue to learn with every new song, composition or arrangement.

I agree about #Lizzo - hearing her play flute inspired me to give it a try.
And we can't forget #WillFarrell as #RonBurgundy of course! ;)
This struck me as funny as I've been (sort of) learning flute for a bit... I had no idea I was part of such a golden age!

Thanks #HalLeonard and #ArrangeMe - I appreciate your services for #composers, #arrangers and #songwriters like me.
I do have to confess that I'm going to hang on to my day gig for a bit longer! ;)

This was a tough one to write but I'm glad I was able to wrestle it down and get this first recording after a week of writing, re-writing, abandoning my initial demo and re-writing it again.
