Daniel Kraft, of frigginglorious, challenged me to a songwriting challenge of random Wikipedia articles. The rules: find a random wikipedia article and write a song about it in 3 minutes. We haven't done a live battle with this challenge yet but I wanted to see what it was like, so I tried it out on UpLive yesterday. It was nerve racking but a complete rush at the same time. Listen to how it came out! Coffee & Music #103 features "In the Pines" and "Out with the Old" Always more at https://j...
