Music For Writing On A November Sunday
November 22, 2009 
“Bone Of Song” is a November song, quiet, just Josh Ritter, his guitar and his remarkable gift for songwriting. He has yet to give back the instrument of the muse even if he contemplates that day in this story.
Then I saw on a white space that was left
A blessing written older than the rest
It said leave me here I care not for wealth or fame
I’ll remember your song - but I’ll forget your name
So true. I remember whole songs without an inkling of the musician.
You don’t know Josh. You should. Hello Starling is a wonderful album and includes “Snow Is Gone,” my favorite Josh Ritter song. His whole catalog is spectacular.
Josh is also a great song writer. I have affection for writers. His name is on a list I won’t forget:
- Bob Dylan
- Connor Oberst
- Ben Harper
- Adam Duritz
- Neil Finn
- Jeff Tweedy
- And so on..
Where are the great contemporary women song-writers?
