Molly Ledford: Songs » hearts http://mollyledfordsongs.com I write songs. But not as often as I should. So maybe I can do this a little more? Every day? Whoa, let's not get crazy. Still, I am going to start posting video performances of songs. Some old, some new. Eventually all new. I have been in two bands, The Verna Cannon and Lunch Money. There might be a third band one day. I put out Lunch Money CDs on my little record label called Squirrel Mechanic Records.

A lot of us are intense about music, whether or not we make music ourselves (there are so many ways to build your life around it). You meet people and, when they tell you what albums they love, their taste speaks volumes, right? It’s shorthand. We feel love and loyalty towards our favorite artists and experience a genuine, powerful sense of loss when they are gone.
Through my life as a musician, I have been drawn to fellow songwriters as friends, and it has been our songs that did the introducing, providing that very same shorthand. And one night, when I was up past any hour that would be appropriate to make a phone call, I realized I could go over to my stereo and put on something by one of my friends. And everything got better. Voilà. So this is a love song to records and the people who make them.

You can download the audio at my Soundcloud page.

Sorry to be away so long. My good buddy/husband/drummer/former bassist/web designer/personal chef/mechanic/studio engineer Jay started a blog. It’s very neat and nerdy, just like Jay. He made a post about finding an old mic at the flea market and fixing it. He even got me to sing into it for his blog, so I am putting a link to that here.
