Lyric notions typically come to Bud when biking or hiking and a quick note is made of them. Often they are developed sitting on our porch in the midst of a forest. It’s not unusual for a collection of seemingly unrelated lines to be tweaked into a single narrative.

Our 90+ collabs over the years with master writer floyd Jane taught Bud 99% of what he knows about writing.

Our next step is Janice works with Bud to make sure she can feel a meter and that the lyric is as she says “singable.” She also offers narrative tweaks.

Next she sits down with her old Martin D-18 and develops a melody/progression. Bud occasionally has input into the progression.

And our music partner PeterF provides excellent input.
