I must give credit for the following to @amarand who suggested it.
As you may have seen, my FIL is considering buying me a portable P.A. for upcoming gigs. It costs Β£300 which I will have to pay back asap.

So Amarand suggested I do a on a 50/50 basis with half the money going to support coso and half going toward buying my kit.

I write the song.
I record a youtube vid.
When an agreed target is reached, I publish and provide receipts.

1/2

2/2
Make a pledge, but no payment yet!

After publication, I will DM donors my paypal address and donate a MINIMUM OF 50% of ALL PROCEEDS to the donorbox.

*** I will not take more than I need ***

So anything above and beyond the target will benefit Coso, not me!!

Suggestions welcome for *** sensible *** subjects to write a song about!
Comedy songs are all well and good, but I do prefer to write deeper lyrics if I can.

@stueytheround

Sensible songs? How earnest are you looking for? I mean, there's dignity of the working class, there's the plight of refugees, the stresses of the pandemic...I'm not sure where one would even begin. Of course, that's why I'm emphatically not a musician. πŸ™‚

@KyleL
All good subject matter.
I like writing protest songs particularly. It's a wonderfully cathartic thing to do.
Dylan and Bragg are both heroes of mine.

@stueytheround

Just thinking how difficult to fit into a meter-beat the phrase "socio-economic catastrophe", is.

@stueytheround

Depends on the skill set, I suppose. πŸ™‚
