Another humbling venture into songwriting from last March. I think I am falling in love with the practice. I actually work at it steady and true, like a Calvinist thought janitor rearranging the gray matter. No milking the clock for me this week! Up before dawn, cheap mixing new tunes at bedtime. The finger callouses on my left hand feel like beach pebbles and I have given them names. This songwriting expression is so valuable to me. That is, I produce something while learning, yet feel like it’s work the whole time I’m doing it. And believe me, I could use the work! Maybe Nashville will buy the rights to some of these ditties. Probably not. That’s like expecting Keith Urban to have a thought go deeper than one of his swimming pools. I don’t think words like “anarchy”, “maggots” and “succor” ever make it into country songs. Or any songs other than those sung by lone wolves beneath full moons. I suggest songwriting for all the lessor poets, which is every one of us who has ever cried a tear or laughed at something funny.
Please remember, like my previous recordings, these tunes are not polish and performance. I think you will miss out on something if you take them that way. I do not have a catchy voice. My guitar playing is beginner with a flare for the intermediate. My one man band name is called “Amateur” for a reason. I write these songs with a Stuckist perspective in mind.
From the manifesto: The amateur, far from being second to the professional, is at the forefront of experimentation, unencumbered by the need to be seen as infallible. Leaps of human endeavor are made by the intrepid individual, because he/she does not have to protect their status. Unlike the professional, the Stuckist is not afraid to fail.
When we listened to the album my wife said that although several of my influences were noticeable, she could find the original Ron in each song.
Success!
Thank you so much for coming by to have a listen. Click on the link for my second album I Miss Parties and it will take you to something new.
And here I am in the studio playing one of the songs, She if Fun:
Amateur, but good guitar playing and singing. I like to watch your performance in youtube
