You really should consider the “producing” process not as a separate step in the songwriting journey, but as an ongoing part of it. A music producer (or record producer – remember records?) is involved from the time the song is written until the final recording is complete. What does a producer do?

As we move past Thanksgiving, you no doubt have heard the sentiment that we should be thankful year-round instead of saving it up for the fourth Thursday of November. I’m struck as I read God’s word (especially the Old Testament) with the sense of how much God despises our grumbling and complaining. In fact, many of his harshest words for the Israelites He was leading to the promised land dealt with their complaining attitudes. I need to be more thankful for all of God’s blessings in my life, but even more importantly, I need to rid myself of the ungratefulness in my heart that often manifests itself in complaining and grumbling.
Just a quick post today to wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for the love and support that all of you have given me throughout the years from listening to my music to financially supporting my mission trip to Jamaica this year. For all of your prayers and well wishes, thank you!

Although I’m writing this post as a continuation of the Songwriting Series I’ve done for the blog, that’s a little bit of a misnomer. Once we get to the recording phase, the song is pretty much written. There will be some arranging left to do such as figuring out when different instruments will play or not play, how many times do we repeat the chorus, when do we go to the bridge, and that sort of thing, but the song is for the most part finished.
