Jack of Songwriting

     Hello, Well-Wishers. I missed my Saturday post, but I'm back with a recording of my first original worship song. It's inspired by one of my fave hymns, "As the Deer." These words mean something to me, and I hope they will to you, too.

Lyrics/vocals/piano: me
Violin: Rina
Recording: iPod touch
Mixing: Garageband

Drawt or Draft?


     After I wrote the lyrics to my new arrangement of the hymn "As the Deer" I realized that I didn't know how to pronounce one of the words. It's "draught," meaning the act of taking a drink. I've been pronouncing it "drawt," but I only now discovered that it's supposed to be "draft" or "droft!" Apparently, I'm not the only one who's confused. There was quite a conversation going on on answerbag.com. Now I even more don't know what to do! Go with what I've been saying, or use the dictionary pronunciation that most people don't know?
