#TunesOnTuesday shares my new lyrics to Johnny Mandel's 1950s be-bop head "Pot Luck." The title was a perfect inspiration for the words. #songwriter #songwriting #jazzsong #jazztodon #johnnymandel https://ohljazz.com/2025/09/30/tunes-on-tuesday-pot-luck/

#TunesOnTuesday shares "If You Could Fly,"' the fourth version of a song I've been tweaking for at least three years. A tribute to the value of revisiting and revising. #songwriter #songwriting #jazzmusic #jazztodon #jazzpiano #jazzsong https://ohljazz.com/2025/05/06/tunes-on-tuesday-if-you-could-fly-2/

#TunesOnTuesday shares another new song that I started in February as part of the #FAWM Challenge. "Easy" is a reflection on AI and other labor-saving tools. #songwriter #songwriting #jazzpiano #jazz #jazztodon #jazzsong https://ohljazz.com/2025/03/25/tunes-on-tuesday-easy/

#TunesOnTuesday shares a song from the last day of this year's FAWM challenge - I went back to my favorite classic song structure for this light ditty about "Harmony." https://ohljazz.com/2025/03/04/tunes-on-tuesday-harmony/ #songwriting #songwriter #jazz #jazzpiano #jazzsong #originalsong

Day 27 of the Songwriting For M.E. January #songadaychallenge. "Trip to Paradise" is a tribute to the awesome power of the AABA form. I think it's a perfectly respectable song for Tin Pan Alley in 1928. #songwriter #songwriting #jazzsong #jazzpiano https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhRunJLKYCQ

The start of February means the start of another February Album Writing Month (#FAWM) - another opportunity to share and collaborate with a global community of songwriters at https://fawm.org. My first effort for this year is autobiographical: a reflection on passing a significant age milestone.
