In the last few days, I have had several people from the boards find me and say, "I didn't know you were still songwriting"...WOW, have I drifted that much?

I have been keeping busy, I am doing 50/90 right now and I regularly do FAWM, I am performing at open mics and I co-run a songwriting group that meets locally every month. I have worked on 20 new songs this year already and written 9 new poems. I have been selling my photography and am preparing for an art show and my photography will be featured in the NH Poetry Society's quarterly publication and I am working on a children's picture book with a local artist. OH and I'm a mom too...LOL!

I promise, I'm still around, just busier, but you can find me on my website tammyjann.com and keep up with me and drag me back when I get lost because I miss you all.

Here is a song that has been going over really well at the open mics, I wrote it to the prompt "Gasoline" on the Facebook songwriting skirmish group. Your thoughts are welcome on it and please be forgiving if I don't get in here as often as I should.

Fire and Gasoline
by Tammy Jann
© 2016


It's the way that you listened
It's the way you showed you cared
It's the way you'd reach out to me
and run your fingers through my hair

It's the way you said I was pretty
It's the way you smelled my skin
It's the way I was falling
and how my thoughts had turned to sin


Chorus
I was already on fire
hoping you'd give your love to me
and when you fulfilled my desires
your love hit my flames like gasoline
we're fire and gasoline


It's the way the smoke got in my eyes
It's the way your kisses drove me insane
It's the way you held on so tight
and how you were calling out my name


Chorus
I was already on fire
hoping you'd give your love to me
and when you fulfilled my desires
your love hit my flames like gasoline
we're fire and gasoline

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

Chorus
I was already on fire
hoping you'd give your love to me
and when you fulfilled my desires
your love hit my flames like gasoline
we're fire and gasoline

Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it...
