Why I'm Here | When I was in college I wrote a little poetry that got published and did some graphic design. After writing software for nearly 20 years I felt working with primarily the logic side of my brain I had lost my creativity. I wanted to find a way express myself. I never thought I could learn to play this late in life but a friend convinced me otherwise and it has been a rewarding but frustrating journey. |
City | I wrote the lyrics to a song for my wife on our 25th anniversary. I hired someone to help me with the melody. I had a couple of months from the time we finished it until I wanted to play it for my wife on our anniversary. I thought I had it down until I recorded it. My timing was all poor and my picking inaccurate. I had only taken a couple of months of voice lessons and hearing my own voice recorded was darn near traumatic it sounded so bad to me. I had to hire someone to record it for me. it turned out quite good. I surprised my wife on our 25th and it brought her to tears. She loves it. I didn't think much more about it, but our 30th anniversary is a year out so I am working on playing the song and taking voice lessons so I can play it and sing it to her on our 30th year anniversary next year. |
