this is a scratch of one of the songs i've been working on for the past week.  it's very much in songhood infancy, but as the track is sort of about letting go i figured i'd do just that and post it here, let it incubate for a bit.

the scholastic art & writing awards

my former employers asked me to write a song for their annual "chairman's circle" benefit.  to be in the "chairman's circle" you have donated at least $1500 to help run the scholastic art & writing awards.  the ceo of scholastic, dick robinson, was in attendance.  susan sarandon was lurking in the shadows.  my old co-workers were passing out raffle tickets and slurping down free booze.  it was weird.

let me tell you, it's not easy to write a song about a corporation or an awards program for young artists and writers. it's actual work!  i straight up spent three weeks pouring over this two minute ditty, but it ultimately went over well at the event.  dick dug it, although susan was nowhere to be found.
