I spent a nice Saturday evening with family and friends at the Coosa County Songwriter's Showcase in Weogufka, Alabama. My friend and co-writer Jennifer sang three of our original songs, and although we didn't win the prize for "crowd favorite" (fifty dollars!), it was a fun way to spend a couple of hours, listening to aspiring writers and performers.
There was a nice assortment of singers this go round, from traditional bluegrass to gospel to country. Jennifer sang "The Laptop Song," "If She Takes the TV, I'll know She's Really Gone," and "Long Row to Hoe." The latter we wrote just last week, and I believe it may be our best effort yet.
Jennifer is turning into the "Queen of Country" in Coosa County. She's already booked for the annual "Mule Festival" in April. Mark your calendar. Mules and pretty women just naturally go hand-in-hand, don't you think?
I've got more to say about Coosa County next time. Stay tuned.
