Songwriting from start to finish – caught on video.

My kids were taking a bath and I was sitting strumming my guitar with no particular goal in mind, just playing chords and humming. Within a few minutes an idea came to me, so as soon as they were finished I rushed out into the studio and wrote a song. I’d been playing with my digital video camera and making short movies with some of my students, so I decided to make a “How I recorded this song” video/movie to post online.
I think anyone who writes music may find it interesting, embarrassing, enlightening, or entertaining.
