I started writing original music over 30 years ago. At first just capturing melody Ideas, then adding bridges, chords, etc. till there was some form of a song. I first used MIDI computer software in 1986 on one of the first Macs, then, advanced as hardware and software became more sophisticated. I added other instrument parts that I played on keyboard to form a basic band arrangement. Over the years I often thought of using musicians but a full time job and playing on the weekends made it nearly impossible. I retired from my long-term full time job at the end of August 2012 and slowly began putting the wheels in motion toward making this CD, only a dream up to this point.
