Songs of CC Hogan
I just like writing songs
I think I can say things with a song that I find harder with a poem. The music offers a feel and mood that I can use as part of the story. If the music is happy, the words sound less depressing.

Messing around with new gear
I have at last come to the end of the studio refit and am now settling down to some serious fun!Doing the artwork is hard but important
Although I must compose more songs, I also need to do artwork for the tracks so far. Hard work, but importantNeed new equipment. What do I do?
If I am going to pursue this music thing, I need to gig. And that means gear.It is so nice to get back into music
Getting my songs out through YouTube and ReverbNation is a lot of fun and I am beginning to enjoy the trip. But where next? Plus, a couple of new, young artists I have come across.
A bit of Americana from the South East England
I wrote my first song in my teens or something. I have a vague recollection of it, but it is probably a good thing it has been forgotten.
Over the years I have written hundreds but probably only recorded forty or fifty. I have decided to get myself organised, write new, better songs, rearrange some of the old ones, and see if people like them.
Several are already up on YouTube and I am now working hard on ReverbNation.
