Me, I Think!
Updated 1st March 2013..
formerly known as
I am a person with plenty of time on my hands. In the last couple of years I have started these blogs/posts mainly to speak my mind and generally release some pent-up frustration.
In my early years I played the guitar ( and still do) for several bands, covering various styles, rock and roll, country and middle of the road.I played as a soloist, writing my own songs, lyrics and poems, and started in folk clubs. So I thought this might be a good way to express myself and hope that I can pass on to other people. While I have been doing this I have also discovered other people whose writing I also like so am learning as I travel this road to discovery.
Update… Have now posted a few and received some good responses, and discovered other good pages. my music had become a little more prominent due to frequenting folk clubs and jamming sessions.
Thank you and Please enjoy..

Nice one!
Thank you Teecee,,;)
Great memories. I remember when she got her big break by winning on ‘Opportunity Knocks’. I think she then came second in the 1970 Eurovision Song Contest, with “Knock knock, who’s there.”
So right you, and it was second to Dana, with All kinds of everything. She was the first to sign with the Beatles Album Apple via Paul McCartney…
welcome
I was glued to the TV for those contests.
Ditto to that, and seems like yesterday, well maybe a bit longer..
