"The secret to successful songwriting is the ability to paint a picture." – Paul McCartney
Whether or not I have succeeded is debatable, but this is what I've tried to do with many of my songs, including the one I've posted here called "Mojo Bungalow." This song was written several years into my tenure as a magazine staff writer slash photographer slash corporate road warrior who spent way too much time in airports, and I think you can hear the "the glamour of business travel" starting to have its effect.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: "Mojo Bungalow" has been languishing "in the vault" and is now available here for the general public to hear for the first time. It's part of my I Remember Travel Tunes collection –Starling
