This page is dedicated to RMMS (rec.music.makers.songwriting)song challenges. The concept is very simple. Everyone suggests one or more names for a song and the list is voted down until there is one winning title. Everyone then writes a song with that title. The results are amazing. There are so many variations and no two are alike. These songs are my entries. They are listed in order of writing and a recorded commentary introduces each one. These are simply done using various software tools along with a Washburn guitar and a Yamaha keyboard.

Lyrics
The Stranger [v1] When I was a boy of ten You were good to me You gave me rides in your car And bought me candy bars I didn't even know your name But I liked you just the same And then one day you dropped me off Eleven miles from home [ch] The stranger will come to town The stranger will let you down There's nothing you can do The stranger is here for you [v2] My parents always told me Never take a ride You said you were my best friend We'd play games and pretend You brought me places far away And you took me home each day But then one day you dropped me off Eleven miles from home [ch] The stranger will come to town The stranger will let you down There's nothing you can do The stranger is here for you [br] Looking back I should have run But it seemed like so much fun I guess you liked me a little bit I never became a statistic [ch] The stranger will come to town The stranger will let you down There's nothing you can do The stranger is here for you
