Jimmy Dunne Says, write what you know

Jimmy Dunne Says is a collection of author and songwriter Jimmy Dunne’s best bite-sized stories that Americans everywhere are spreading and sharing. These stories are heartfelt, smart, and thought-provoking, and some will have you absolutely belly-laughing. Some stories about navigating everyday life today, some that take you right back to your childhood days. You’ll see why stories such as Downsizing virally swept the country—about discovering that one thing you didn’t know you had… “enough.” Or Stories that will have you laughing out loud taking you back to your first dates, stories about the art of being a father… essays that you’ll be sharing with your family and friends. One thing is for sure. They’ll remind you how truly blessed you are—to be alive right now, with so much possibility knocking on your amazing door.

We talked about:

• The essence of creativity
• Writing a book vs. writing songs
• Songwriting as storytelling
• How the value of music, and life, resides in the spaces
• How lucky we ought to feel that we get to do this thing called songwriting
• How modern artists both need to be and can be business people too
