Hi Sean! Glad to see you back!
Well,I myself am quite a good lyricist,although I've never sold a song (definetly for a lack of trying) I know they're quite good because I wrote 80 or so of them over a 2 year period and a number of them are on a very deep personal level.
I have never had the time to really learn an instrument. I took piano for a few months as a kid but we moved and I never did return to it. I think I could play if I could find the time and the $ for lessons. I was also in 4 high school talent shows. 3 singing,one lip-synching to Billy Joel's,"Tell Her About It". Dressed like he was in the video!
I posted one of my poems up here once but have been hesitant to post more because,again,I know they're good and I want to save them either for my own career or give them to someone that can flesh them out musically. (They are also not copywrighted.)
In all though,I have nearly 150. If you'd like to help an aspiring writer/singer from the ground level,I'm willing to learn! No joke. Just E-Mail me with a reply,I'd appreciate it.
By the way Sean,I accidently delelted your E-mail a few weeks ago,I meant to press read.
