Writing is exciting, and songwriting is even more compelling. I love music and have been involved with it for 50 years, and now I enjoy opening its mysteries to groups of writers who have songs in their hearts.I particularly enjoy working with older adults, because they bring more stories to tell, they know more songs, they take more risks and they get my jokes - I will be 70 in late 2012 and I appreciate working with peers!
