Outlining Murder

The best part of yesterday, I spent sipping iced tea and plotting the details of a murder on the outdoor patio of the Virgin Hotel.

If anyone had been able to read my notebook, the police would have been called.

The patio sits at a corner, directly across the street from ASCAP - the American Society for Composers, Authors, and Publishers, on Music Row. The music industry presence here is everywhere—talented musicians, songwriters, singers, record labels, and licensing.

Today’s day five and I’m still amazed at how much more I have to see.

I plan to take the city tour today on the hop on and off bus. There are a couple of key setting questions I need to nail down for “Lyrics and other Felonies.” I don’t want to use actual businesses, but I need to know the geography and history of the area I’ll focus on.

And tonight is another Whiskey Jam session for singer/songwriters at Winners Bar… More people to meet.

I have so many questions! :)
