moonshine in the summertime

so I'm pretty much writing this song and this is one of the first songs that I've ever had trouble writing. it sucks. it's taking me way to long to write, as in at least a month. it's going to be good though and it's tenatively titled moonshine in the summertime (although I don't really like to title anything before it's done). I don't quite entirely know why it's such a hard song to write, but regardless of that I got a harmonica for Christmas and as soon as I'm marginally proficient at it I'm going to put the song to the harmonica and then it may be easier to write. so in other words it could be a long time before It's finished. this could be fun. the harmonica though is fairly awesome, i've been blowing and drawing (apparently you're not just sucking on it or breathing in, it's actually called drawing, wierd eh) on it like nothing else because you can actually carry it around unlike a guitar which is like large and you are constricted as to what you can do when you're carrying one, or a double bass were like you can't even just whip it out and play it because generally it's in this freakin huge case that pretty much dwarfs you. although that is a really neat concept of someone carrying a double bass on their back and then sitting by this campfire and whipping it out to play some tunes and like a coyote howls in the background and the cowboys hunker down for the night, all while Emeril over there is plucking away on his double bass and Finn is blowing and drawing away on his harmonica and then they finish of just as everyone is going to sleep and Finn puts his harmonica in his pocket and goes to sleep while Emeril is struggling to get this huge double bass cover onto his huge double bass for the next twenty minutes while everyone sleeps and then when he's just about done he hears a sound in the bushes and wakes the others in time to stave off an attack from a group of marauding flutists who were trying to steal their beans. in fact that's such a freakin good concept that I think I'm going to incorporate it into one of my stories, Knights of the New World which is an awesome story which sort of plays off of the idea of the knights and a feudal system, but with instruments instead of weapons and like it's set in the U.S.. so pretty much the concept is still being developed and the story isn't as far along as i would like it to be, but it's not as wierd as it sounds and it's going to be pretty freakin awesome. now all I have to do is write Finn and Emeril into the story. wow that gives me shivers, this is going to be gooood.
