(I adore both Ginny and Chuck, but Chuck was a linchpin who seemingly connected everyone, so I&#8217;ll just say it was him.) Steve&#8217;s part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blahblahwoofwoof.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">BlahBlahWoofWoof<\/a> artist collective, which means he&#8217;s good. It also means I get to occasionally rub elbows with some amazing talent. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>A few years back, Steve and I found that we co-write well together. I veer towards &#8220;clever&#8221; writing, goofy inline rhymes, and anything to get a story across. Steve&#8217;s a master musician, great with a great sense of melody, and he has a much more sensitive side than me.<\/p>\n<p>When we first tried writing, I remember Steve saying, &#8220;I&#8217;d like to write songs that have fewer chords.&#8221; I said, &#8220;I can help&#8221;. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/kpig_hallway.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-4306\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/kpig_hallway-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"kpig_hallway\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Our first collaboration was &#8220;On Saturday and Sunday&#8221;, a contrast against playing in a bar on Saturday night and leading music in church the next morning. Steve and I both have much firsthand knowledge of that. We&#8217;ve written a few songs since, including <a href=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.bandcamp.com\/track\/shes-more-connected-clip\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;She&#8217;s More Connected&#8221;<\/a> which appears on my new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/music\">&#8220;Starlite Drive-In Saturday Night&#8221;<\/a> CD.<\/p>\n<p>At the 4\/20 house concert, we&#8217;ll share the songs we&#8217;ve written together, and mix it up with both solo sets and a &#8220;mini-in-the-round&#8221; where we&#8217;ll play together. Hope you can join us. The show starts at 5:00 pm. Suggested donation on this is $15.00.
