We slept in this morning not getting to Big Top until about 11. Bill Staines was doing a workshop at that time. I got to do I Don’t Remember A Waltz during that workshop and tell Bill that it is the continuation of his song Roseville Fair. Bill said I had written a great song. He said the chorus was so good that after it was done you wanted to hear the song again. Yeah I was groovin’. Then Michael Smith did his workshop and he was so intense about songwriting. He talked for a solid 2 hours and I wasn’t bored. Toward the end of his presentation he mentioned the songs he had heard during Bill’s workshop and said the only line that stuck with him was, I Don’t Remember A Waltz! Wow, now that was the supreme compliment.
When all the workshopping was over Max and I got out the instruments and traded songs with a couple of the other songwriters who didn’t win. My favorite was Erin. She is an instructor at Michigan Tech and lives in Calumet.
Gotta go! Today’s trip on the Badger was perfect, sunny and unqueazy. I can’t wait to get home.
