Say woodshed and many people think, "punishment". But for a musician, it's a place to learn without people listening in, a place where you can make mistakes and fix them. Every creative process has its woodshed.

Mi

There's no place like the woodshed,
No illusions there.
It's enough on each visit
To find a missing something,
Small changes in tone or timbre,
Little pieces of ability,
Imperceptible until they surprise
With new substance.
I'll keep going there,
Searching for myself,
Hoping that work and patience
Can someday become a song.

- Charlie Neff

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
