“If You Could Read My Mind” will long play in the pantheon of great songs, but I remember riding with my father, ‘Don Quixote’ on his 8-track, “Ode to Big Blue” making its way around on long drives: a song about a whale a kid’s first meeting with the master. #RIPGordonLightfoot

For all our lives we have known and loved the songlike inflection and narrative-rich game calling of the great Vin Scully. We will miss the words and music he brought to the game of baseball for the rest of the way. RIP #vin
Proud of our own @mlfulton for this powerful defense of democracy and inclusiveness. Thank you @AmericanaHiways for shouting her out and amplifying this hopeful message.

On this Thanksgiving weekend, and we suspect for ages to come, we give thanks and pay our respect for the life and enduring work of Stephen Sondheim.
We are saddened by the loss of the great Nanci Griffith. What a treasure her songs have been, and oh how she honored other writers. We were proud to have Pat Alger guest in a country class & recall her sweet, reedy voice saying his name. “A very blue moon” is coming on.

We are so excited for the world to hear your magnificent music! Epic, truly epic. We are proud and honored to be in your corner @ryterbandmusic !
Me and #RobSeals at @SongSchool, around the time Lighthouse was recorded. Rob has been a huge support to me in honing my lyrics and determining when songs are finished. #gratitude

Thanks for your interest, Sharon! We will post a link to the archive from tonight’s Lyric workshop with Platinum writer Mark Winkler as soon as it is available. We hope you are safe and well there.
@SongSchool I just found out about the free event "How To Write Stronger Lyrics" featuring guest speaker Mark Wrinkler. As much as i want to attend the free event online, i'm not able to. Will this free event video be available in the "Archive" section? WillThisEventReturnAgain?

I used to go to workshops at @SongSchool in LA where they did just that - listen, gently(!) critique, encourage. Now I just send it to trusted peeps...#diymusicchat
The Songwriting School is deeply saddened at this tough time by the loss of one of the most significant writers in the pantheon of influential songwriters: the great John Prine. What a legacy to leave behind. #johnprine

Grateful to all the women and men of California, New York, and so many places who lead by examples of creativity, selflessness, vision, compassion, and determination in this time of need.
LA received 170 broken ventilators from the national stockpile. Rather than complaining, we put them on a truck, drove them up overnight, and had @Bloom_Energy get to work fixing them.
Monday they‘ll back in LA--fixed.
That’s the spirit of CA.

“We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.” -MLK We give thanks and remember Dr. King’s example of creativity and leadership, words and deeds aligned for lasting, difficult good. #MLK. May we indeed lift every voice and sing.

How to say this? Without the band Rush, a young boy doesn’t fall in love with the guitar & the way words can challenge him to think & feel deeply. He doesn’t grow up to co-start a School to help songwriters move others. With gratitude, respect, & deep sorrow, #neilpeartRIP

Woot woot! It’s such a good show you have written, and we are deeply proud of you—and so excited for audiences to enjoy what we have seen you work artfully toward. Congratulations!
Shoutout to @SongSchool, where songs from my new musical were workshopped. "Love Stings" has its world premiere this summer! @BroadwayWorld
