Hey Mitch, this is a heavy instrumental for sure. did you look around the site to see if you had any common ground with anyone? It's worth a shot. There are some really talented people on this site. L

Ha ha John! I've never stopped writing, I just ran out of time to finish them enough to post them. Right now I have three lyrics in the works: a covid nursery rhyme, a funky jazz, and an upbeat country lyric (surprise)! singing is on the back burner. the coach I love got a little pushy with me so I stopped for awhile. I plan to go back to her but with my small goals not her grand ones on the table. As for Jason, he definitely was shocked I could understand. I get a little star struck so he didn't talk to me long. I'm one of those annoying "fans" I know I shouldn't be but I cant help it! Doh! He did say "a wee bit" though and I was tickled! Well keep pressing on here at SS and I have Whatsapp open for work often so send me a message there if ya need. L

Hi John! Good to hear of the many things you have moving forward. I would definitely pay a subscription for SS. I would definitely love to pay for a beginner recording course. Being on the site recently, I've noticed it's quiet. I'm happy to hear your suggestions and I'll be signing on as much as I can and posting and commenting. I've been playing on a pool league and have met Jason Shaw. He has the same accent as you!!! I play two nights a week so my time is limited. However, I did take a job with better hours so I'm not as tired and have some time in the evenings to write. As you always say: "See you on the boards!" L

Hi Sophie, I love the piano in this! Your voice is so cool. Especially when you just let it go. You've got confidence for sure! See you on the boards! Lisa

Yeah, this is really wonderful! what fun!

Hey Peggy! This is cool! Every little bit helps and twitter is so easy to get followers so this should really take off.

Hey ya! The gangs still all here! So glad you're back! L

Glad you found us Dylan. There is a lot of talent on this site. We have articles and clubs that can help with the business side of things. I've learned so much here that my head sometimes explodes from too much at one time! LOL What kind of info are you looking for business wise? Welcome! PS I like your Musical Influences list

did you take the vid down? I don't see it...

Wow! you've really had some greatness in your life!

Gravity is the only thing keepin me down Good line!

Not "blame"... thank without the separation I'd have one old e-mail that I'd have to search and delete and sort through all the spam too! Thanx for great ideas and all the help @john

Wow! I just realized I haven't logged into my gmail account in almost a year. I have four e-mail accounts! WHY?!!!! I wish it could be simple but alas... life is not simple. If you knew how old I was you'd realize I have clung to two old e-mail services but have also tried to stay relevant so I did add the gmail account against my "big brother" worrisome mind a few years ago. Everything online is watched/monitored by someone (Big Brother). Does everyone have multiple accounts? I have one to use if I'm online and think I'll get spammy shit from wherever I'm leaving my e-mail address. I have another for professional communication. Another just for facebook and/or music related topics and the gmail account for newer more up-to-date apps and such. I hope it make sense to keep these things separate. It works in my mind better this way. I suppose the services are available for me to use as I choose (yes that rhymes!) As always, I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe!

Yikes! sorry to hear you cut your finger. Good to see you online. Can't wait to hear the song...

I don't know why but when I googled "songs about animals" to get ideas all these song titles popped up and my mind combined them so this is a total mishmosh of Song Titles of Animals. I think I should say sorry now... sorry! Whoever let the dogs out, is a hound dog I can’t find them anymore Looking in the dark Listening for their barks Guess I’ll never know where they are Do Cats in the cradle get cat scratch fever? Just watching them makes me itch Is it allergies? Please don’t make me sneeze Guess I sure know where they are Was the blackbird the bird sitting on the wire? Singing a pretty love song Til it flew away For another day Guess I’ll never know where they go There’s a wolf at the door, killer wolf Asking for the moon and sun They aren’t mine to give I still have to live Guess I’ll never know why they come The dogs and the cats, the birds and the wolves The circle of life always endures Be strong and healthy until we find a cure

Nice one @Rebekah very clever and fun!

John should we post the songs as replies to your post? I have a verse or maybe the chorus created with types of businesses closed due to the virus.
