My son and I wrote a song together yesterday here in Portland, Oregon

 Or better said I wrote lyrics to a song just like I have many times before when I was younger and he put these lyrics into a folk singing category at his music AI and it used the words to create a song which turned out pretty good. He is setting it up as an MP3 so maybe I can eventually put it here at my blog for you to hear. However, that will be in the future I think because I'm traveling now.

I found getting my music creative juices flowing in this way was very healing for me and it brought tears to my eyes. I stopped writing and playing music on Guitar, Piano, Keyboards and Flute around the time my father died because I found I couldn't deal with the emotions of losing my father. I really haven't gotten back into music (writing lyrics and music) since then because losing my father I didn't have the heart for it after that for some reason. Sometimes the shock of the death of someone close to you changes you a lot and I found I wasn't doing well from ages 37 to 50 until I almost died myself. Instead of writing music and lyrics I found I wrote more poetry and prose like here at this website especially since 1999. So, my creative outlets just changed and modified somewhat but didn't leave me entirely at the death of my father in 1985 in August. In some ways I still feel wounded at the loss of my father all these years later mostly because in some ways I lost both my father and my mother when my father died because my mother became a completely different person I barely knew after his death too. In order to survive from 1985 when he died to 2008 when she was about 90 she had to go back to who she was when she was single until she was 27 and married my Dad. So, in some ways she stopped being my mother which was very hard to lose both my father and my mother then in 1985.

Some deaths I find are not really survivable in your life so you have to become a completely different person to survive them. But, you don't know this until life forces you to change a lot to survive.

By God's Grace

Yes. I tried to run it through my email account and on my desktop to get it here but no luck so far.

Well. That will have to do for now. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have been able to send this song to friends and relatives as a text. However, my son who is more of a computer expert than me at this point (this is true of all my grown children by the way) from age 51 to 29) he says that it might be complicated to put this song on my blog. So, we'll see how it goes. But so far I have sent it all around the world to friends and relatives who might enjoy it like I and my son did!
