Ever wanted to perform a song you wrote yourself? Learn the tricks of the trade from the Seattle-based band, The Board of Education. BOE lead singer, children's novelist Kevin Emerson and his bandmates will give you some great tips at this songwriting session.

After jamming with them here, be sure to catch their performance at the library's summer reading kick-off event at Top of the Park later that night!

This event is co-sponsored by the Ann Arbor Summer Festival and 826Michigan.

Sunday June 19, 2011: 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm -- Downtown Library: Multi-Purpose Room

Can I make a song about swimming lessons? I already sing anyway.

Submitted by Memoria1224 on Mon, 07/18/2011 - 3:52pm.

great!

Submitted by hillary dorwart on Tue, 07/19/2011 - 10:48am.

They always say, "write what you know" so perhaps you should "sing what you know" too! The song-writing workshop has already occurred but that's no reason to keep you from writing your tunes!

this is the very first post/whatever, and we are still commenting on it.

Submitted by jerryy on Sat, 07/14/2012 - 2:40pm.

I know

Submitted by Morgsush on Sun, 07/15/2012 - 3:17pm.

Hello jerryy! I haven't seen any of your comments before...
Is this your first year playing the Summer Game?

Submitted by Smiles on Wed, 07/18/2012 - 5:08pm.

Uh. You shouldn't batter everyone that seems "new" with questions.

Submitted by Morgsush on Sat, 07/21/2012 - 3:22pm.

Sheesh! It's just nice seeing someone who's not as "active" become "active".

Submitted by Bookbird on Sat, 07/28/2012 - 9:55pm.

they might not actually become "active", maybe they're just randomly commenting

Submitted by mysterio on Mon, 07/30/2012 - 4:25pm.

Like me!

Submitted by Bookbird on Wed, 08/01/2012 - 8:20pm.

oh really?

Submitted by mysterio on Thu, 08/02/2012 - 11:05am.

yeah

Submitted by Morgsush on Tue, 08/07/2012 - 3:51pm.

But I've seen your comments on a lot of other posts, and they weren't random, they were actually part of the conversation. You've started to play seriously now (getting to be an active player with comments and everything).

Submitted by mysterio on Sat, 08/11/2012 - 11:35am.

Oh...thanks!

Submitted by Zhengyang1022 on Sat, 08/11/2012 - 4:56pm.

Submitted by mysterio on Tue, 08/14/2012 - 1:27pm.

And we're only on the first page...

Submitted by Bookbird on Mon, 08/20/2012 - 9:10pm.

it's been awhile, yet this post doesn't have as much comments as the other Old Posts.

Submitted by Zhengyang1022 on Tue, 08/21/2012 - 10:06am.

Probably because no one posts on these except us....

Submitted by Smiles on Wed, 08/29/2012 - 4:04pm.

This post is what separates the obsessed people (no offense) from the not-so-obsessed people.

Submitted by nitinv on Fri, 08/31/2012 - 12:28pm.
