I played a couple of your songs for my band and they think you are a good writer. Do you write for more local bands ever? or can you give tips on how to write like that? we don't want to put a ton of time into it because this is just a fun thing but like to have good sounding songs to. it just seems like there is more to it than just a few chords, guitar, bass, and the singing. if you listen, there is more than I would have guessed going on in these songs. I grew up on traditional country and like that. This new stuff is cool in its own way though. I thought it was trash at first but catchy. Now I get it's clever in a different kind of way. That's where were hoping band in a box can fill in some holes for us. It's a rude awakening when you realize its hard to pull off the crap you've been ripping on. You can dumb it down but its usually cause you cant do it all. I guess asking how long it takes to write like that is asking how long it takes to learn an instrument. It just seems like it should be simple. We kept saying theres nothing to these words but to write them is hard. A lot of people have help though. I think thats what we need to.

Who's up for brats and beer?
