Grayghost,
I had almost said in my earlier post, too many years...not enough pain. You have to have something tug at the heart to really write, especially lyrics. Too often, this comes in the form of pain. I think cutting your teeth (in writing) in times of pain, even more modest levels, leaves you less tooled to write when that antagonist is gone. I have urges and feelings write now out of some middle aged reflection. But you got the good juice, you have pure joy pushing you to emote...brother, it doesn't get any better than that!
Stay thirsty my friend!

I don't always write music, but when I do.....Yeah, I don't write any music
I have a MicroKorg synthesizer that I try to do covers of songs with. But that's about it!

Very Cool story Grayghost. Glad you have reconnected. There is nothing like family reunions IMO.

If you can play chords , progressions, and scales then you are doing music. You might not be very good, but if it brings you joy and it isn't hideous...
Stay thirsty my friend!

It's funny...I didn't write that post to elicit any particular response, merely to note that I understood what WoVeU was going through. That being said, I deeply appreciate the responses to my post. That 7 years was hell for me, and it took me a long time to recover from the blow of losing my daughter. As Spence said, I can't recover those lost years, and I am not trying to. We are moving foward together, as friends. I often wonder that if we had not been separated if we would have ever been able to connect the way we are connecting now. The conversations we have are not typical father/daughter conversations. So even though what happened was painful...for both of us, I do believe that the bond we are building now is all the stronger for not having any baggage in the way.
Or, that just might be my way of finding the silver lining.
Again...thank you all.
