More final hour lyric tweaking
KeithHandy posted in Songwriting on October 27th, 2007

In case you ever have a need for it, I just downloaded Finale Notepad 2008 to make that little sheet music sketch in the middle. It’s free. I usually only use notation to sketch out bits that deviate a little from the rest of the song or get a little fancy. I was going to write a little more about it, but I started feeling angry just thinking about it. I’ve heard one too many hostile, pro-ignorance arguments and statements, almost to the point of making me feel like I have to apologize for knowing how to read, and I think it’s a sad reflection on our society. Granted, most of the music I listen to is by people who don’t know how to read, but in those cases there’s usually a George Martin, or a Ron Geesin, or a Michael Kamen…
(If you’re one of the people who read this blog, you’re not one of the people I’m angry at, don’t worry.)
