Our JAM!
Sam was at my house one day and she suddenly had the best idea.
“Let’s write songs!” she said. I agreed, but I had to make sure we could use my brother’s drum set. We hooked it up, and I took my dad’s (non-expensive) electric guitar and the other smaller amp. I got two sheets of paper, knowing we’d both have different ideas, and two pencils. As soon as she started messing around with the drums, I had inspiration strike me! I started writing a very slow, slow beginning to a chorus. I started to hum.
“You’ve got an idea yet?” asked Sam. I answered, “Yeah, but it’s not that good.”
“Let’s see it,” she said. I started singing it.
“Wow,” Sam said. “I can add on; this is going to be great!” She then told me to get my acoustic guitar, since the first chorus was slow, then it would get faster as it repeats after the verses. We got pretty far into the chords and beats that day, while my brother watched us.

Hi Haley — I think that it is really cool that you are into music, singing and are writing your own songs. Good luck with the song contest.
