FAWM - Year 12 - 10 W, 1 L and 1 yet to be determined. 🎸
50/90. - Year 10 - 0 W, 10 L

Clearly Winter is my season for writing, while summer is my performing time.

For those following along, the good news, my vertigo finally went away in August ‘22 after nearly 2 years. I’ve been slowly rebuilding my stamina and strength, and getting back to performing more regularly. Now to undo the damage done to my bank account following 2 years out medical convalescence.

As to the music side, I’m an Americana singer-songwriter, usually leaning on the acoustic guitar with occasional forays into mandolin, cigarbox, uke, keyboard etc.

Congratulations on making 14 songs.
We did it once again.

Thanks for the comments on the song now titled simply "Out There". I've tweaked the lyrics (it needed MORE inner rhymes ;LOL), figured out the music, recorded it, uploaded an mp3, and also tweaked the description to be a bit more universal. ;)

I would like to thank you very much for your lovely and interesting comment in "Distance relationship". Actually there is a lot autobiographical in these lyrics for me too, we had such a distance relationship for more than eight years, having had the chance to meet in person maybe once in a year at best, and many on her as well as on my side gave our relationship a bad prognosis, however, all worked out for us finally really nicely, we are married for five years now and we are parents of a wonderful little boy...

Welcome back Dude, while you enjoy the cold, I melt in the heat, and yet somehow we keep writing the songs. Am glad your health is getting better and good luck with the bank account too. Maybe you just need to write a #1 song or something ? :)
