Hey everyone, I'm completely new to this type of community and also new at writing lyrics, which is why I'm here; To see what real songwriters make of my lyric writing.
I'm Brian Neil, 24 year old from Scotland. I'll be putting up a couple of "songs" and seeing what the critical response shall be. Until then, cheers for having me!

It's about time we had a new "Scot" around. I love Scotland, have ancestors from there and loved visiting and look forward to returning. Whereabouts in Scotland do you live? The best Whiskey in the world is made there, Highland Park 18 year old! I seldom drink any alcohol, so when I do once in a blue moon, it is something as amazing as that Scotch. Just a little sip, about a half of a shot is all I need to open up my nasal passages and sip in a bit of the homeland! = )
Seriously though, welcome to JPF. We look forward to hearing from you, your music and also your thoughts on your fellow writers work and any other topic you wish to dabble into.
Brian

Thanks everyone for the welcome, much appreciated. Brian; I'm from Kilmarnock in Ayrshire (home of Johnnie Walker) I'm a big fan of whisky myself, must be in our DNA! We do have a beautiful country, I'm fortunate enough to be able to travel around with my job and see a lot of it and take in some breath taking scenery. Some of which is an inspiration to my music

Welcome Brian,
Welcome to JPF. It's much more than a music site. It's a family of musicians and writers working together for the benefit of all. I've been here almost 13 years (February of 2001) and it's been an amazing adventure! before jping JPF, I played in aband for close to 40 years. But, what I have learned here, even after all that experience, has improved my playing (lead guitar plyer), my composing skills, my production skills and my knowledge of the industry.
Hope you find as much benefit and enjoyment as I have. I'm of Welsh origin but have one great-great grandmother from Aberdeen, Scotland. Again, welcome into the family...
Alan

Thanks Alan, appreciate that insight, I sure hope I get half as much out of the community as you have; Sure sounds like a great platform for improving in music in general!

Hey Brian, I'm a newbie myself and so far, this place is amazing. Honest criticism, and you know its from the heart because all the music I've heard so far sounds exactly from people like that. I am very excited to get to know the people here, and possibly one day collaborate. I have already spoken to somebody about this already, what kind of music do you play? I'm 25, from US, and curious to see what other types of music people my age are making.
