Hey gang. I have this stupid three or four chord acoustic rocker rolling through my head. I laid these words down to fit the genre. Pick it apart and I will humbly review your suggestions as I rewrite. Thanks, Dave. Ten Dollar Bill c.2010 Dave Morehouse Wind in my face not a care in the world...

Hey all. I have been locked up (Of my own accord.) in a cabin for the last two and a half months. Strange stuff is beginning to show up on my writing pads and monitors. In two weeks I will officially move back to civilization and return to the studio. In the meantime, here is another set of...

Hey gang - Haven't been here for a while. This is very unlike my usual lyric content but the short choppy stanzas that I am known for still persist. Feel free to have a go at her. Melody is still at the rattling around the brain stage. Until Dave Morehouse c.2010 Full moonlight, at midnight...

Hey all - Nine more days will mark the end of my fifth year here at HR. In that time I have hung out in a few of the forums but the primary reason I kept coming back was the Songwriters Forum. The people I met here were rowing the same boat I was. They were helpful and I tried to reciprocate...

A special thanks to geck for getting this thing rolling. Here are my honest thoughts. Keep in mind that what I say is always meant to help the writer grow. It is NEVER my intent to hurt someone's feelings or damn their work. I am just another voice in the wilderness with my own special set of...

Not a lot of grins or smiley icons attached to this one. I got a tune in my head and scratched it out this morning in 15 minutes. (It probably shows!) I will have time to rework it or throw it away after it sits for a couple of days and I look it over again. In any event, consider me on board. I...

I am not certain that the title is phrased correctly but here is what I need to do. I have a 24 track HD system that I record to. I also have a 16 track reel to reel. All of my outboard gear is hooked to the aux sends off my analog console. In the past I mixed with the board to stereo and sent...

Pardon my prolonged absence from the forum. I have been arse deep with the alligators of life. I HAVE been playing lots of music but it has all been out amongst the living and not in the studio. Writing has been on hold save for a few snippets here and there which I write early in the mornings...

....is when inspiration always slaps me. I have WAY TOO MUCH going on right now to give any time to my own music but slapped this one out QAD tonight. It is written for a friend. Two mics, one take, crap in a box production wise but you get the idea. You may hear it here. For You c.Dave...

Here is a song I wrote this afternoon when I was supposed to be working in the studio on something else. (Naturally.) Rougher than a mile of bad road but you can get the idea. Listen here. The Nigerian Prince c.Dave Morehouse2009 (Chs) Yippee! Yahoo! I’m gonna be rich Thanks to a sick Nigerian...

When threatened by the likes of gecko zzed and Whatmysay I got on my horse and recorded a bit this afternoon. I know they are going to pull off something great and I will be dining at the pig's last teat but here is the rough demo I ran out the monitors to tape this afternoon. Pay no attention...

Here is another one. They are coming fast and furious for the time being but that seems to be the way I work. Then I will completely block or simply write crap for three or four weeks. That is when I go back to recording and playing. It is a convoluted process but it is mine and I stopped...

.....be recording. Still, for me, it is best to strike when the iron is hot. (Or even lukewarm.) I have an uncle in southern Mississippi who I visit every other year at Christmas. Anyhooooo...... here is one that came out in short order. I wrote the melody in my head while writing the lyrics for...

I am not recording until Monday so feel free to rip her apart and recommend. (Especially the second verse.) I hope to rewrite this weekend and if I am happy with her she goes to tape Monday or Tuesday. Don't Worry c.Dave Morehouse 2009 When darkness slides over the street. The weight of the...

Hey - My goto verb unit just died and I am looking for a replacement. It needs to be rackmountable, in perfect working order, and have quality sound. It also needs to be less than $1000. $500 would be better but I will pay more for the right unit. PM or email me with details if you have...

OK - So my old Vestax verb unit just died. I have had it since 1989 and put LOTs of miles on it but now it is crapping out bigtime. What I want is advice from users of rack mount verb units that I can get for under $1000. Tell me how easy it is to use and, more importantly how it sounds on the...

You do not have to be an entrant to comment and critique this thread. The more the merrier. (And more helpful to all of us.) A special thanks to those who whipped the limerick into submission. By looking at the rest of your submissions I now know that it can be done even though I may have missed...

....of entries for this month I have put them all in one thread for easier perusal. The limerick was harder than any of us expected but a good learning experience. I know that it isn't MIDNIGHT yet everywhere but I am booked in the studio tomorrow and won't be able to get here. Anyone who still...

You may listen to it here. This isn't one I am particularly proud of but I whittled my way through the Challenge and learned a bit more in the process. (Like NEVER try and rhyme 1,2,5 and 3,4 again!) Have You Seen Him Sway? c.Dave Morehouse 2009 They came from all over the town To watch him...

OK. So while I was stuck I was thinking that I just needed a bit of a push from someone, somewhere and I would get back to writing sweet heartfelt prose that would make young girls weep and old men piss themselves. That's when an idea for a Challenge hit me betwixt the blinkers. What if, on a...
