Challenge #3: Story Time

It's songwriting challenge # 3!!! Ladies and gents, you know the rules. 1)Write a marvelous song that involves singing (or something like it) and an instrument of some kind based on a prompt, 2)record that song using the most basic of equipment (e.g., garageband on mac or whatever you can download free on your pc) on one track if at all possible, 3)email that track to rocktastica at gmail dot com, and 4)then we (participants and the huge audience at rocktastica) vote. For this one you get until Saturday, February 28th.

The prompt: Write a song that tells a story. A song that just sort of refers to events that might make up a story does not count. This should be a regular beginning-middle-end type of story. For examples, see Springsteen's The River or Clem Snide's Mike Kalinsky.

Well we can change it. I just didn't want to totally forget about it. How about the last day of Feb?
