As completely evident; I have no performing talent. I am not capable of keeping a beat, born without any sense of rhythm. I've played guitar for over 55 years. I haven't improved during the last 50 of those. I continue to play every day as a part of my creative release. I know little to nothing about music. My guitar sometimes provides inspiration and other times it's just background noise to aid in thought separation. I have written hundreds of songs. I sometimes write two before breakfast. The issue is: without musical knowledge, it's just words on a page with chords scribbled above. I have a clear and distinct way I want them to sound at the time. We all know that each successful song has a line or group of words that the listener grasps onto and that line provides the needed emotion. I do not wish to leave this world without some small portion of my imagination being felt, enjoyed and remembered.
