They killed their Songwriter Round

Craig was well prepared for this event. There was a decent size group in the restaurant where the Round is held. Natalie’s parents drove up to see it. It went by in a blink. They both sounded great and their two styles worked well together. It was so fun to hear Natalie sing one of Craig’s songs and to add violin. AMAZING. They each played 3 songs and it timed out at just under 30 minutes which was perfect.

When Craig came off stage he said “I was out of tune so I held back on guitar”. I didn’t notice either. He sounded great. Most important to me is to be able to hear his lyrics and follow the stories he was telling. Neither James or Natalie noticed he was out of tune. After watching the video a few times, Craig finally said “that was not as bad as I thought” and posted it to YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMKZkPfx4_w

The pause in all of our projects was worth it. He got back on stage with Natalie’s support and the response of the audiences and other songwriters will keep him going. I am so proud of and happy for Craig. As he said on stage – This was like being a 5 year old in Disneyland.

The next post will explain why I am so behind in posting this.
