new to you

Post by Street Sound »

Hey there

I have been strumming for a few months with any real gusto, know a few chords and think I'm almost ready for late-at-night-campfire level entertainment.. really really late at night.

Anyway.. having listened to a few of the home recordings here on this site I see that I have a long way to go.. it would help if I understood the basics of music but I don't.. which is ironic because my job is implementing a junior music program for young children.. luckily you don't need to know much past do re me fa so to behave like a playschool presenter/ the fifth wiggle/justine clarke (any of those familiar?) Fun job though :)

Anyway I recently got dumped and so I'm full of fire and angry poetry at the moment. I hope I can get something out of it... and turn it into a song or two.

I wrote my 'first song' just before I got dumped and it's so melancholic and self pitying that you'd think I might have seen the oncoming onslaught... i didn't - haha.

Anyway, I have only ever played in front of a group of very drunk friends once before. and just one song.. I think I suffer from stage fright, but I hope to at least entertain an invisible audience for better or worse....

Look forward to hearing your stuff!
