The debut of SWEET TEA by Marcy Brenner (ascap) and Erin Sierra (bmi) performed with Lou Castro (ascap) at Writer's Night, Nolan's Irish Pub, Cocoa Beach, FL, Feb 2024 This is a lyric co-write with Erin Sierra from Georgia. We wove our love of the south, and our spouses, into this song. Marcy wrote the music along with Erin's input. And Lou brings the final touches on dobro. PS I just love Dianne's tapping hand in the bottom left of the frame. That's positive feedback right there!
First act was Tina Eno (superb)
and then COYOTE played this set.

FIVE MINUTES by Marcy Brenner and Lou Castro (ascap)
This is our first love song we wrote together - In honor of our 20th wedding anniversary on Dec 31st, this night we played the first love song we wrote together (this one) and the latest one we recently finished (A Kiss Before I Go). FIVE MINUTES was written about when they first met.
Marcy: "I got back from Paris (a bucket list experience) and found Louie's number in my backpack. We got together and there was a musical spark ... the next night there was a different kind of spark. But I had to tell him that my life expectancy was short having just survived a bone marrow/stem transplant for advanced breast cancer (this was over 20 years ago now!) What he said in the moment inspired my lyrics. Louie provided the great chords."
Performed at Writer's Night at Nolan's.
NEVER LET ME TOUCH THE GROUND by Marcy Brenner and Lou Castro (ascap) was written about Marcy's big sisters Linda and Judi who never let her touch the ground. Writer's Night at Nolan's Irish Pub, Cocoa Beach FL
