Well, it’s time to get your songwriting chops lubed and prepare for the 5th Annual 6-Pack Songwriting Competition.
As I mentioned, this is the fifth year of the 6-Pack. Liz Miller won the first two and Margaret McClure won the past two. I’m sure many of the veterans will be returning as I have been receiving steady inquiries about the starting date, challenges, etc. The first four categories are the annual primer (any song you have), a love song, an instrumental and a spiritual song. The last two will be announced later and I’m sure you’re going to love them!
Stein,yours was brilliantly done. That one made my brain hurt! But man did I enjoy it.

I confess… I broke some rules regarding 6 can.
Please feel free to mark inappropriate at any time.
But if you’re not good enough to catch it… Then I humbly invite you to try….
Any seasoned vet will know the difference… and if you have to ask… Then chances are. Well…
LOL
good discussion here,,, two things get on my nerves,
1. Hearing songs that really don´t fit the category, for example in 6th can, speeding up 4/4 temp is not time change I think. However maybe I misunderstood the category cause I made one song specially for it and it was mainly 3/4 2/4 change all the time with the chorus being in 6/4 or 3/8,/2/8 6/8 or alla breve chorus, man… maybe more time change is needed, I kinda thought rythm more complicated than the steady 4/4 or 3/4 that 95% of songs are in.
2. Hearing the non vocal master of a vocal song in the instrumental section, man, that pisses me off cause it´s well done mostly, played well, and sounds good, but is missing a lot and unfortunately there are people out there that value the compression/limiting more than the music, but thankfully here I presume most of the reviewing is being done by us.
take care
Stein
