FAWM begins...I am Tennis

I have decided to take part in FAWM this year. February Album Writing Month. 28 days 14 songs(edit: 1 a day---thanks to jordan the canuck). As I am presently recording songs that I wrote more than 10 years ago (and this is about my average songwriting turn around time), I am daunted by this task.

I had a dream last week in which I found the perfect band name for my project. In my dream, my mother and I were playing a pleasant game of tennis at Wimbledon. During our match, I had a an epiphany and told my mom that "Tennis" was going to my band name. As I must learn to accept my inspiration quickly for the month of February, I am going with this so as not to waste too much brain space.

This made me think of Bill Callahan's words

"I fell back asleep some time later on
And I dreamed the perfect song
It held all the answers, like hands laid on

I woke halfway and scribbled it down
And in the morning what I wrote I read
It was hard to read at first but here's what it said

Eid ma clack shaw
Zupoven del ba
Mertepy ven seinur
Cofally ragdah"

I am Tennis.

Etymology of the word:

1345, most likely from Anglo-Fr. tenetz "hold! receive! take!," from O.Fr. tenez, imperative of tenir "to hold, receive, take," which was used as a call from the server to his opponent.

I am begging all of you for your help. If you have any one-liners or 2-liners or even 50-liners that you care to donate to my cause, please feel free. I have already begun pulling out past letters, lyrics, and dream fragments that fell by the way side to help me out. This'll be fun.

Good luck to others attempting this and thanks to Spike for inspiring me while watching him write a novel for nanowrimo.
