National Solo Album Month (NaSoAlMo) is an online community challenging solo musicians to write and record enough songs to reach a running time of 29:09 during the month of November. Because I find this extreme time limitation fruitful for creative focus, I also choose a lyrical album theme to strictly follow for each year's songs.

My first foray into National Solo Album Month and also my first foray into songwriting. Dove right into speed songwriting. I chose the absurd theme of watermelons so that I wouldn't waste precious recording time writing lyrics. It didn't work.
