When she woke, she remembered the song. She has a difficult time with the physical writing of the music, but she learned the hard way that it s the only way to record her songwriting.

Music is big in Rose s young family.
She and the children sing made-up songs to each other all the time. And Matthew is a big help critiquing Rose s work.

Every once and a while, she considers teaching Matthew how to play the guitar, but he wisely declines, she says, smiling. I really just want to share it.
