I am looking for Original songs from Artists/Writers for Film / TV / Video placements! Please contact me if you are interested.
Cathy “is a professional songwriter who started writing country /rock songs because her strength is in lyric writing. Writing runs in her family. CC’s mother Louise Ducharme is a book author (“Aces High” a fictional suspense novel and her brother Craig Carlson is an award-winning screenplay writer (Chicago Film Festival and Lucille Ball Awards) for a comedy film “Wheel of Torture” which shows Craig winning on “The Wheel of Fortune Game Show” which actually happened and all of the funny and dramatic things that happen afterwards. Craig also won “Best Screenplay” at the Burbank Children’s Festival. Her twin sister Colleen’s non-fiction novel “Devil’s Jaws” was featured as a PBS Special.
After listening to her songs you will see that she is able to express her life experiences in a fun and original way. She enjoys when people identify with her music because it lifts their spirits and she can make an artistic contribution as well. In addition to country songs she has also written pop/rock songs and big band music with jazz overtones. She performs as a solo and back-up vocal artist and has toured internationally.
“CC” met Mr. Dyer’s Daughters when she was performing a song she wrote “Whoop-De-Do” at a club in Los Angeles. The “Dyers” heard the song and asked if they could perform it live in the country-dance clubs. A choreographer designed a “Whoop-De-Do” line dance and it became a hit in the L.A. clubs including “The Cowboy Palace” where the dance scene that included the song “Desire” was filmed with Patrick Swayze in “Letters From A Killer”. “CC” went on to write another song “Daddy Tried” with Mr. Dyer’s Daughters that was also featured in the movie.

Just thought I'd drop by and let you know that I have a new song for you to listen to "No More" is the first song to be released on MusicForte from the Time CD. I hope you can find time to listen to it. It is a soft guitar ballad which about the end of a relationship.
Best Wishes

Hi Cathy
What you may have missed!
Just added "When Death Divides" I wrote this song after losing my Aunty Bet. I loved her very much and she was the closest to me, closer than my own mother. She was a very special person.
Also you might not have heard "I Want You Back"
I hope you like the darker songs so far, from "Where do I Go?" I have featured
"Nothing Goes As Planned" a song about living with poverty and the confusion, the human struggle to survive.
"Man With A Gun" Gave me a lot of positive feedback to which is probably my darkest song yet.
This weeks song is "Always Be The One" which deals with the frustration of keeping your loved one knowing that you do love her."
If you haven't had a chance to listen please do. Next week will feature the last of the songs from "Where Do I Go? as in September I will be featuring songs from the album "Time" which will be available to buy on CD from the middle of next month.
Best wishes

Hi Cathy
New song added "Man With A Gun". This is one of my personal favourites. Not for everyone! It is seriously dark. The character in this song is definately someone I wouldn't want to meet.
This is the second song from the "Where Do I Go" album, the other was "Nothing Goes As Planned"
Have a great weekend.

Almost in August and it is another lovely weekend. I have just changed from songs from "Riding On A Dark Cloud", to some of my darker songs. I hope you like them.
I am starting off with a song about poverty, no it isn't about feed the poor. It is just about the confusion an human struggle to survive. While "Riding On A Dark Cloud" the music is very 60's based this is different more synths and much darker.
I hope you drop my and give the song a listen and other songs if you have time.
Have a great weekend. |

Hi Cathy
Thought you might like to know that I have just added Still Crazy For You, which I wrote for my wife and it is still as true today as when I wrote it.
Hope you like it.
