Will do! Thanks.

I certainly believe so - Every time I do a new song I learn something new.

Yes, it sounds great - I would like to hear it finished!

Hey John, I came here looking for opportunities to fill the gaps for other musicians to make the end product better - I guess looking for some synergistic relationship. Having listened to your stuff, I can't see a single gap in your music so no, I guess you can't help me! Great composition, performances, production... well done mate. Dave

Thanks Jac. Very kind words! Keep enjoying!

Hey Rich, Thanks for your kind comment on my stuff. I've been listening to yours: excellent production throughout. I really liked "The Sailor", "When That Day Comes", "Time to Get Up" and "Happy Vibes". I am curious as to why "I Grew Up" fades away before it even gets going! It sounds really good up til then. Anyway, nice stuff man. Keep it up and keep getting better! Dave

Thanks Peggy. Would love to hear some of your stuff too. Send me a link! Dave

What a great question. The question of gender differences with regard to employment opportunities, social constructs, etc. is heavily discussed but lyrics… that’s something I had never thought of before! As someone who has studied psychology I think that this might be a very fertile area for a student who might choose to venture there. My speculation is yes, there will be a significant and predictable difference between genders with regard to what emotions/responses are triggered by different lyrics however, I believe that a really good song probably transcends these gender differences because the music will be strong enough to connect directly with the emotional parts of the brain, bypassing all social constructs. My two cents!

Thanks for the kind comments Mister B & Jac. Perhaps my love of instrumentation can sometimes push the vocals back in the mix! I must bear this in mind. Thanks so much.

Hey there, I'm just finished an album featuring melodies I wrote many, many years ago with new lyrics and latterly acquired abilities (not least Logic Pro and midi programming) and I'm putting it out there to showcase my abilities in the hope that I can work with good musicians - doing arrangements perhaps - or people with other artistic projects that need music. I'll post this in the collab. subforum too but do get in touch if this is something that interests you. Thanks.
