I have never attended a songwriting club, but the idea has always intrigued me. On the other hand, I've never been able to take it seriously when doing just one line at a time. And it shows it- mine comes out as doggerel.

Before he died a couple of years ago, my brother and I collaborated on some songs and that was tremendous fun. Mostly he hammered out another verse or two to an existing song of mine and I tweaked his words to say more precisely what I wanted to say. I would gladly collaborate if I could find someone else like that. And if it was that much fun.
