AnneS Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 To attend a songwriting workshop guest-hosted by Mary Gauthier this weekend. I have no idea what I’m in for, but it could be interesting. Don Henry and Beth Nielsen Chapman will sit in for a few hours and provide song feedback, too, whatever that means. Anyway, with my J-45 and a handful of my shiniest tunes, I’m headed for the big time. 😬 Wish me luck. I’ll keep you posted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha...it practically writes itself! FZ—Don Henry, not Henley. (But if he turns out to need a good punching, I’ll let him have it, I promise!)

AnneS Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 You will have a blast. Mary is special. Yes, I think so, too. Cool that she’ll be leading the sessions on the very day her new album officially launches. I think she was in Baton Rouge this evening for the premiere of a documentary about the album, which, as you probably know, is a collection of songs she co-wrote with veterans arising from an organization that pairs songwriters with vets. I had never heard of her until, at open mics over the last couple of years, more than a handful of strangers told me my stuff reminded them of hers. Well, I only recently her up and have been listening closely. Gotta say, I have come to understand what a high compliment is the comparison! It is uncanny to hear and read what she says about songwriting, too, given that I have said, sometimes almost verbatim, the exact things. So when the workshop was announced, I pulled the trigger before I could talk myself out of it. And, I’m gonna get a close-up, personal listen to that 1950 Southern Jumbo of hers. Yep, pretty psyched... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Congrats, AnneS! Have a good time in Nashville. See if they will give you a special rate at The Hermitage. Great hotel, and a short walk to Broadway and all the honky-tonks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatbaroque Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Have a great time Anne. You deserve to have your songs discussed and thought about in a place like that. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwalker201 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 They will see lots of talent from you Anne. You remember a while back I compared you and Mary Gauthier, now your on way. Move over Nashvillle a new talent is in town.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars68 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Best of luck Anne! I'm in bed listening to your album right now as I type. Wonderful. You don't need to be told how to write goods songs, that is for sure. Before you, I listened to Dylan, before that Cash, and before that Emmylou. You might not have sold as many albums as they have, but that does not make your music any less worthy. Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, an honor to be sure. She is one of a kind - I'm sure you were inspired. I would be a plate of Jello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
