Songs in the Raw - weeks of 2/9, 2/16 & 2/23

Ok, OK, I know it's been a while since we last talked, but life can do that to you some times. I have been busy, though, writing and posting the songs on Jon Roniger – Songs in the Raw – MySpace Page. You can and should just check in there form time to time to see what's happening in my musical world.

Let me take a step back and tell you about the last couple of songs that I wrote.
"Southern Fried Women" is my first attempt at a country song. I throw in a few references to Bar-B-Q, Daisy Dukes, barns, pick-up trucks and Dixie cups. I tried to get it all in there and have it not sound too corny. I think that it came out pretty good! Have a listen for yourself - Jon Roniger – Songs in the Raw – MySpace Page.

Last week's song is called "I Remember You". I started thinking back about a girlfriend a while ago. We parted ways after a year of fighting and cheating and general bad times. I was probably not the best boyfriend in the world, but she brought it out of me. The songs took a turn towards, not just a memory, but a list of reasons why I blame her for all my faults.....joking....of course. But you've got to blame some one. I blame her!

This week's song is called "Fool For You". I guess it started as a love song...I guess. Basically, I'm a fool. I think that we all know that. But I'm also a fool for my wife. I've always liked that expression; "I'm a fool for you". It sort of says it all for me. No matter how far you've come in your life, there's this one person that just makes your brain go numb. I like it when my brain goes numb.

Well, I hope you enjoy the listening. If you ever want to leave a comment or write to me and ask about songwriting or whatever....fell free!
