Random Musings

The last week was so hectic for me that I’ve now officially fallen ill.

But ultimately, last Saturday night’s concert was simply one of the best memories of my life. 

It’s so heartening to hear that the concert meant so much to so many people. For some of us (myself included), it was the fulfillment of a lifetime dream…the only opportunity in our lives when we were able to sing and play our original songs to a roomful of eager listeners, consisting of both friends and family.

And to hear the audience’s appreciative applause after presenting our songs…wow, honestly that just has to be one of the most satisfying moments in life for an amatuer songwriter.

I guess you could call it a night “when dreams came true”.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget how far the circle has come since its humble beginnings.

And sometimes we don’t realise how much we’ve all improved in our songcraft since the day we joined the circle. Indeed, I truly believe that the Songcraft Songwriting Circle has somehow made all of us not just better songwriters…but even better performers as well.

And in a way, I guess the circle has served its purpose – bringing musical friends together, improving our songcraft, adding confidence to our writing and performing, inspiring us and others to write even more songs, etc.

As I always like to say: Without these wonderful songwriters, there would be no songs. And without the songs, there would be no circle. And no concert as well.

It’s as simple as that.
