I'm just me. One woman alone with my guitar and my songs. I would love to find folks with similar tastes and jam with them. I am not the best guitar player in any way shape or form...but I make up for it in my writing, at least I hope I do.I began writing poetry as a child. Always have done that. I have played piano since I was 7 years old, but when my poetry gave way to song I realized I needed to learn to play guitar 'cause lugging around that giant piano is really difficult! LOL Although I had tried for many years it just didn't seem to happen.One day I woke up (after having had surgery and was home recovering) and there was a guitar sitting in a box outside my front door. I later discovered my mom had bought it and sent it to me. I sat there as long as I could and desperately tried to learn to play it. My fingers ached and I got frustrated, but it was a breakthrough and it changed my life. I have a MUCH better guitar now, a John Lennon Epiphone acoustic/electric replica. By the way, that's my actual guitar in my "friend me" box. That's "John" as I call him.Before guitar I was writing songs for ritual and campfires, stuff people could sing along to, and those were completely a cappella of course. Eventually a greater yearning kicked in, a guitar showed up....and thus, here I am. While some of my early campfire songs -- PP Anthem being one of them -- were turned into guitar songs....many of them remain un-guitared (is that a word?). I just might post them here in their original form one day. Some of them are a lot of fun.I think of my life in two ways -- before guitar and after. It has changed everything. My songwriting has overtaken a lot of my life, maybe not so much a good thing but there it is. Whaddya gonna do?I live to create. I live to write. I just live....plain and simple.Peace and all that.May all your journeys be blessed.
