Thanks Gary, Brian and Donna for your advice.

Never heard of SongU. I will check it out.

Yes, I do all that music, lyrics, play keyboard, recording etc. I already write songs - but I'd like to grow.

I have done the free video courses they have on Songtown and their teaching seemed pretty easy on the brain, but I understand they are there to make a buck and you will be a little tiny fish in a big pound.

Yes, I do love participating in the song forums and when time permits I would like to participate more but being a newbie I think it takes a while for folks to warm up to you as I certainly can understand.

Since it is a free service you all are providing, I do not want to take up everyone's time posting songs, lyrics and stuff and asking for help etc. If I pay for the service, I should, and I use the word loosely "should" get something from that, or maybe I'll get nothing.

And I hear you can collaborate with people when you write on Songtown and I would love to do that (especially lyrics which I am weak on). And as far as writing commercially, I would love to learn.

I am getting some help in using my DAW from a studio since this is how I construct my song which is very expensive and not really worth it in the long run.

I will be retiring soon and will have time on my hands to do music so just thought it might be interesting to pursue as many opportunities I can while I am still alive.

Thanks again everyone for your opinions on the matter. I do value them.
