BIO:

I grew up in a musical home. It was just the way things were. I naturally encouraged music in my own home once it formed and have enjoyed watching my three kids continue the creative journey. I joined this last year and wrote some of my very first songs. You were so supportive that I'm back! Three themes to keep me motivated during these 90 days; #1 Children's Christian/Bible School (yes that means references to Jesus, God, and the Bible), #2 Life (basically journaling with a tune), and #3 Quotes that move me (my interpretation of their idea). We'll see how it goes!

Hello Darci, you are very welcome. I think your phrase about inviting into the world of piano could be in a song :) Thank you for sending me the demo, I've sent you a reply.

Hi again Darci,
After reading your bio, I thought I'd throw this one your way. I wrote it in a way that could be sung. No worries if it's not your cup of tea. JUST TRYING TO GET YOU TO 50! LOL

S eptember - the month and the thirtieth day, in the year 1897.
A child of Jesus was taken from Earth to do greater things in Heaven.
I will let fall a shower of roses... one of many things she said.
N ever seeking out greatness, in Little Ways is how her life was led.
T he Little Flower was born in France, on day two of 1873.

T hen at 15 she found the Carmelite way, only 9 years from eternity.
H er motto in life,"not great deeds, but great love".
E cho down from the heavens, her voice from above.
R oses would shower upon the Earth as a sign of all your grace.
E verywhere deeds of "Little Ways" bring a smile upon your face.
S o young when you left us, merely a child, with such a lovely view.
E ntering Heaven, a forgone conclusion, for someone as lovely as you.

OK Mrs. Mom... your daughter made it to 50, lets get a move-on there! LOL
Just kidding... I know you'll make it, even if you last song has to be a parody:

Thank you so much for your that profound comment on "the girl I was before"... I do not know why, but most of my lyrics (even those that were originally intended to be "happy") become sad while working on them...

""""""""""""""""When I'm really sad it seems the whole of nature reflects that sadness. """""""""""
Ya' know, I think there's another song or two in your statement--there's a line from some song that goes something like , : I see you da da in the rainy April sadness" --I'll ask Google after while if I don't forget

Hi Darci,

Thank you again for the lovely comments. Please pick a song, any song with the exception of collabs and I will send you a file so that you might place your backing vocal exactly where you think it needs it and You would like to hear it.

Send the vocal files back to me, I will place it in the mix and we can call it a Collab if that's ok with you. As you know I am a big fan of lots of voices so if you do one part then do it a number of times and send in sepaerate files, even better do differing harmony parts, recorded a number of times!!!

Let me know and I will arrange.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to listen to "jealousy's an angry liar" your comments are greatly appreciated, thank you also for letting me know that I had missed out a verse, I have added it, it is key to the song. Glad it connected with you as when I was writing it, I wanted to get the woman's point across strongly, the opening bravado is just a set up for the real emotion.
