May I update everyone on this song "Mama's Prayers" by our friend Dennis Wright.
I contacted Dennis by personal message on SongRamp and offered to help him shorten his song and put it in a format that would fit a song.
Dennis; being the ultimate gentleman he is; thanked me for reading his song and for being interested in his story behind his lyrics; however at first; he did not want anyone to mess with his "Baby" (his lyrics) because they were so personal to him.
I finally got him to understand he could keep his original lyrics to do with as he please; later on. Finally Dennis agreed to allow me to write another version of his song (trying to keep all the information and emotion Dennis felt as he wrote this song). He also allowed me to bring in my mentor and dear friend Marc Alan Barnette (MAB), to give some advise on the lyrics, put a melody to it, and record it for Dennis.
MAB did a recording of this song in the downtown Nashville studio of his friend Jay Vern, and they recorded it today.
Sounds great, I hope Dennis can get his first recorded song up-loaded on the Ramp's open mic soon.
Good for you Dennis, I'm happy to have played a small part in helping you hear your first song recorded.
I hope you like your song.
OD
