Basically, Jason and I (and in one case Rick) all wrote and recorded these songs in a few of hours. Fast and furious but lots of fun.

For those of you who don’t know, the PRF Songwriting Challenge is a weekly competition where songwriters from around the globe submit songs based on a theme or challenge. It all started on the Electrical Audio forum: READ ABOUT IT HERE

CHALLENGE: Write a song about cats / bonus points for a cappella
An Animal – Just me this time, although J did the engineering and the snapping. It sure is nice to have an audio engineer as a boyfriend.


CHALLENGE: Write a holiday song
I Don’t Believe in Santa Claus – J and I – a light-hearted Christmas romp

CHALLENGE: Write a song based on this painting
King for a Day - J and I – I really do want a collection of mini-moos.

CHALLENGE: Write a Sci-fi song
Invasion Trilogy – Jason, Rick and I – Three way song writing trilogy / Does that mean it’s cubed? Sidenote: we are expanding this and trying to work it into a piece we can perform live.

I’m trying to write a song for The PRF All-Star Songwriting Challenge Week 12 : http://www.virb.com/prfweek12

My man won/tied last weeks competition with a song he hated but everyone else liked. Go figure. This week’s challenge is to write a song about or in some way related to CATS… bonus points for making it an a cappella piece.

So yeah, I’m spending the afternoon trying to write and record an acappella song about cats. Life is grand.
