I love to write. I come up with things out of the blue. Mainly the hook lines and chorus come first and then I add the story. It has been a lifelong hobby of mine beginning as a child in school. I especially like to write poems and lyrics that will make the reader or listener stop and think for a bit. I try to enter their space with hopes that I may see the reflection of a "yeah, I get it" response. I do play a little bit of guitar but I am not a musician. I write my song lyrics with a beat and melody in my head. If I could only produce the sound, well, I believe I'd have a few number ones on the charts by now! I do love to share them with whomever will listen. Those that do usually say "Man that's a good one, you should do something with that." And they tell me the name of a well known artist that could. Many of my lyrics already have an artist or style in mind, but again I need the music. I've been told most songs start with that, and then the lyrics are added. So I've been doing it backwards for the longest time. Still, I continue on. So if any of you folks at Songbay would like to hook up and produce some killer finished products, my lyrics are crying for your ideas, your voices and your sound. My lifelong dream is to hear a song I wrote on the radio. I'll be 63 come this June, so I reckon it's time to "Git er Done." If you'd like to work with me, give me a shout. Thank you, and many blessings to all. Mike
