There’s a reason why they call it the F chord. That’s what I told Adam Duritz of Counting Crows.
Keeping the F theme…I loved his advice from his episode of Song Diving. He said: “Follow your Fascination.”
That’s what we do around here.
The kiddo has us fully down a rabbit hole of Studio Ghibli. Spirited Away is Fantastic.
It’s probably why I’m writing songs like “Day Moon.”
F is also for Finesse. (And Fool?)
And for “A Farewell to Arms” which I’ve almost finished reading. Can we talk about what a gift short chapters are?!! (Has anyone ever seen the movie? Curious if its as good as the book)
And lastly, F is for Fado music, which I have recently been devouring thanks to my conversation with Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins which comes out Monday!
