Today my wife and I headed up to Dahlonega to spend some time with our families, who both live there. Being a gorgeous day, and not caring to discuss Easter decorations with the ladies at my inlaw's house, I grabbed the old guitar from the living room, went out on the porch, and enjoyed the above view while strumming the guitar.
With this brilliant scenery, surely a brilliant idea would come into mind.
Nothing... so I decided I'd try to be semi-creative and play someone else's song in a unique way. After ten minutes of trying to play a slightly bluegrass instrumental version of I Will Follow You into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie I realized that such desecration was a bad idea. What's really sad is that I thought it sounded good until I suddenly realized it sounded like one of the awful Beatles covers I had recently heard while put on hold for a technical support call.
I wonder if a book on songwriting would be helpful, or maybe it's just a lost cause.
