prolific songwriter who likes a challenge!

You are wow. :)

Hi

Thanks for all the wonderful comments. I wish I had more time to comment back... it's such a great community here!! :)

Hi Helen, excuse me, please, if I disturb you... I am a lyricist. Listened to your songs and have got some songtexts, especially written for a girl´s vocals, which could eventualy suit the music you do... If you contemplated on a collab and if you liked, I`d love to invite you to have a short look at them...
kind regards

If I ever make it from Alabama to Vancouver, I'm coming to hear YOU!!!

I look forward to playing my way through the songs as they get posted. If your satisfaction comes via the process of writing the songs then I suppose the product(s) or the song(s) themselves might be seen to be a bonus of sorts.

Keep up the great writing and playing ... then we can all partake of the listening process ... seems like a win / win situation.

Am I going to listen to the rest of the songs ... hell yeah !

I am blown away by all the wonderful people here... thank yo so much for all the comments!
