Performer(s)

I wrote the lyrics and programmed AI to create the music to my specifications. I am disabled and not able to perform my instruments anymore. That is why I use AI now.

Description

This is a true story about my life of writing songs even while in a different career and returning to songwriting later in life during retirement.

Bio

I started performing on stage at age 6. Won Grand Prize during my city talent show at age 6. Never looked back after that. I am a concert classical guitarist, play string bass in orchestra, play tuba in a brass ensemble, produce music festivals and other concerts. I have released 20 music albums for 693 track releases.

Lyrics

here I am at 68
and still writing verse
share my writes on all poetry
it could be a whole lot worse

performed my music
as a young lad
played guitar sang some too
did quite well I might add

wrote some songs
and had my own band
things didn’t work out
as I had planned

life can roll on
a different direction
when passing through
a milestone intersection

it’s alright
I had a great career
kept on writing
didn’t let that interfere

now that I’m retired
it’s all ok
I enjoy the good life
wouldn’t have it another way

I still write songs
and perform my guitar
maybe there’s still hope
to become a big star
