100 in '24

Hey here's a fun idea: write 100 songs this year. Why not? It's a great way to generate ideas. You don't get time to dawdle or worry about perfection. Push that down the road for Future You to stress over. I need to average about nine songs a month to meet the goal. And because I began in February, I technically don't have to finish until the end of January (one act of kindness for Future Me). What will I do with all these songs? Mostly just enjoy that they didn't exist before, and now they do.

I'll periodically update this page with my progress (new songs on top). You can listen to the demos, read the lyrics, and I've also provided the chords in case you want to play along at home. Someday I'll revisit these and decide which deserve further development and record versions suitable for a proper release. Wheee!

 Current Progress: 66
 Current Goal (February '25 End): 76

Chris is busking.  Drop a dollar or something in here.
Toss a buck in the case.
It'll be like I'm a professional songwriter.
