  SEED
  A Community Collaboration (if you please)
  
  
  SEED
  As I release my 15th solo album, and Lisa and I prepare to be “empty nesters”, I believe I’ve landed on a creative way to celebrate this time in our lives. I hope this album finds us creating something together. It’s intended as a collaboration between you and me. Something that will spread, germinate, grow, flower, then go to seed, and start again. Hopefully, it’s a jumping off point for you. A kickstart for your muse. Whether you are a songwriter, poet, painter, videographer, photographer, potter, dancer, sound engineer etc. I will make the lyrics available to you, for you to manipulate, change and separate at will. The songs and melodies will be made available to sample. The audio tracks will be made available for overdubs and remixing. Grab a line or verse and write your own song or paint your own picture or write your own poem, or melody. Maybe you’ll choose to cover my song and make it your own. Let’s see where the Seed takes us, and later, let’s release our collaboration and we’ll call it,
  FLOWER.

  Where Did This SEED Come From?
  These songs seemed to be “handed to me” like little gifts from various sources. A few were challenges from The Song Colony*, an open group of writers who meet each month in Marietta Ohio at The Stage Door. At the end of each session, we spontaneously pick one word to use as a jumping off point for a song. We call it the “Quick and Dirty”. The assignment is to spend one hour or less on a song, and the goal is to write whatever comes to mind, without the pressure of feeling it should be precious, or a “masterpiece”. We are simply working the songwriting muscle, and as a result, happy accidents occasionally occur. Hundreds of songs have come out of this group using this method.
  
  Other songs from Seed are playful challenges from friends. Pig came from my late friend Mark Scohy saying to me, “there aren’t enough songs about bacon”. Weed and Keep Your Clover Bloomin’ came to me while I was doing yard work, and a couple others came from words I saw in a book called 300 Drawing Prompts.
  
  There’s no wrong or right way to approach this project. No rules, no limits.
  I hope you will join us. Some have already started!
