Rolly Brown, Songwriter

by Rolly Brown

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    22 original songs by Rolly Brown, in a one voice/one guitar format.
    "While my reputation, for what it’s worth, has always been as a guitarist, I have written the occasional song since I first began playing the guitar in 1964. As such, about a quarter of the songs on this recording were written in the 1970s. They are the survivors of my earlier attempts at songwriting. Part of the reason for this CD is preserving a record of my songs. At this stage of life, I’ve come to realize how ephemeral our creations can be if we don’t make it our business to preserve them in some form. For better or worse, these older songs are among those I want to preserve.
    I’ve taught guitar for many years at Summer Acoustic Music Week in New Hampshire (SAMW), and, several years ago, my wife Janice, to whose memory this CD is dedicated, started taking songwriting classes with several of the wonderful songwriters who teach there. She wrote some beautiful songs, and we made some great friends among these fine teachers, and this led to a renewed interest on my part.
    Now, rather than only writing when I felt inspired, I began to try to approach songwriting with the rigor once reserved for the guitar. The result is the remaining three quarters of these songs, mostly written in the past 2 years. I continue to write, as a 73 year old beginner of sorts, but here’s my first edition."
