Story

Hi there! Having had to curb my creative side for many years the corporate world finally told me to go fly a kite - so I have - used to be in a band yonks ago but they were all barking mad!! So for the last few years have been doing my own thing - I do not play an instrument or even read music but I do everything by ear and now at the ripe old age of 63 I have to do the vocals as well !! Primarily I do it for me, then if others like it - great, if not, that's also fine. Song titles are "COLD LOVER" and "LOVE RHYTHM". I like big, full arrangements so songs are not too timid - if you like that sort of thing - anyway just run a search on name and song titles, easy to find and I hope you enjoy what I'm doing as more on the way.
