I missed Old Songs and seeing everyone this year, but have a living memory from 2005: after attending the Bob Franke songwriting workshop, I was the proud owner of a song called "The Letter" which is on our new ShoreGrass recording. (You can find us on CDBaby for a listen). Whatever he said inspired me to write a song that I think turned out pretty well, so I'm hoping he returns again next year. That was my first and only songwriting workshop so far. If you do nothing else at Old Songs, the workshops alone are worth the price of admission.
