Not The Same Old, Same Old

It would be interesting to know how many original songs have been played in just the few months we’ve been holding these HomeSongs4Life sets.

Of course there have been some repeats, but I’m guessing that over 200 original songs will have been performed. Some of them never heard by anyone but the writer before. And the vast majority of them new to the listeners too.

So much of our music experience is predicable. Whether it be going to the concert of a band or artist we already know very well, the majority of tunes we hear on the radio, or the covers we hear being played by pub bands.

The familiar is comforting.

But it puts a smile on my face to hear a new song.
