I got a nylon string guitar when I was thirteen. About a year later my grandmother, who was an organist, invited me to do a song at her church in Oakland. It held about 500 people and the service was broadcast on the radio. It never occurred to me to learn a song, so I wrote one.
I generally write songs that will work for my gigs. Sometimes I will write a song for other purposes or just because I want to. I figure a song works if the audience is singing along by the end.
