How easy is it to make your Song Story?

Easy.  First, you need to think of a song that, every time you hear it, raises a specific memory. Not hard. When I hear The Beatles' “Girl,” I remember parties in friends basements when the idea of having a girlfriend first became real. Remember “In A Godda da Vida” by Iron Butterfly? Me too, and I remember smoking some hash at the furnace intake in the basement, then lying between the two speakers of our console stereo spacing out to that growling, whacked-out song. Ten years later, I used to drive from Thousand Oaks, CA, over the hill to Camarillo and then down through sod farms and fields of vegetables to the Pacific Ocean, speeding on an open, curving road with Genesis' “Carpet Crawlers” blasting on my car's cassette player and – wait for it – singing along at the top of my lungs. There are more, but you get the idea. 

Next, you have to write your story or, if you're good, just think it through. 

Step three is to record it. Easy on your computer, laptop or smart phone. Easiest is on your phone, using one of the many recording apps you can download for free. I like Sound and Voice Recorder from ASN https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nll.asr&hl=en. 

Finally, email your recording to me. Drop me an email on the Contact Page and I'll send you the address. A few days later, I'll send you your VERY OWN COPY of the edited Song Story. Could it be any easier? I don't think so.

    I love music.  And I love the memories that arise when I hear a certain song.  That's why I started Song Stories.
