Paris Songwriters Club participant. But attention, or watch out, or wait right one second: Paddy wants to make it clear that this remains the Paris Songwriters Club, and that he still prefers songs performed being those written by the performers themselves. But he felt that it was time to open up to continue to do exactly the same thing that is the point of the original idea: To encourage singer songwriters and just plain performers to get up on stage, experiment, and hopefully feel the urge, and the comfort to eventually write their own stuff.
In fact, and indeed, as I sat there last night and listened to one original musician after another โ none of whom I had ever heard before โ I realized that almost all of them were doing their own songs anyway. And I felt that, this is great, the tradition continues, but the doors are open for anything. I must not forget to add that Paddy has also always allowed for people to do stand up comedy, acting, reading, whatever they want.

I got a friend from Canada to add bass. In short, the chorus sung by me stinks. Corsican song at Paris Songwriters Club. So with only a few people left in the room last night, I decided to explain my predicament and ask for ideas on how to fix it.
I sang the song, it went down pretty well, and I felt much better about my performance. But what happened was I got some fresh ideas โ particularly from Paddy a bit later โ and now I have some new ideas on how I might fix that problem with the chorus.
