Man time does fly! Been a while since I have been here and I guess I will have to scroll down to see who is still here that I have communicated with in the past. I am still writing, still learning and still enjoying this craft. What about you?
My latested project is working with a producer and arranger on a Christmas CD [for lack of a better word] of six originals and one particular song that I want to push for Remembrance Day here in Canada.
Also I am part of an online songwriters group based in Nova Scotia where fellow songwriters share there thoughts and songs.
Outside of music I am connecting with illustrators for some children's picture books based on a few of my lyrics and since I lost my job due to Covid [and my attitude towards the owner I must add] I am noe enrolled in a government sponsered course in Graphic Design. Keeping busy. What else?
Two heart attacks in 2017, small stroke that left me partically blind in my right eye and gaining weight from sitting around on my...you know.
Besides that semi-retired and loving it and looking forward to re-connecting with other here.
If you remember me drop me a line.

Douglas, welcome back, most have been gone a while due to technical issues over the past year or so.
MikeW, welcome to the site. Brian runs a really good ship. A suggestion for you. ASK QUESTIONS. Most of the people here have been around quite some time and have varying experiences with songwriting, recording, networking, and the business. If you ask questions regarding to your own situation and interests, it helps people find out how to offer suggestions or information that you might find useful.
Most are just like you, always interested in where people come from, what they are doing and what their passions are leading them to. And we might be able to help you a step or two, or most importantly, save you money. So let people know what you are interested in.
MAB

"The commercial that says "you never get a second chance to make a first impression" may be true. Our job should be making sure that we give the person we are judging the chance to make that first impression themselves, in person, for real." –Brian Austin Whitney
