Yesterday I succumbed. I ended my songwriting sabbatical. Earlier than planned, but you songwriters will understand.

I was noodling away with this new picking pattern I’d learned. Nothing fancy, but still a stretch for me. And the a title popped into my head. And The Urge arrived, with a vengeance, not far behind.

So it had to be done. And I have to say, it was fun. Back in the groove.

It’s been helpful to take a break, even from something I loved doing so much.

But oh boy! It’s good to be back.
