About
I've been playing/composing/recording music for the past 20 years. I have a pro-capable home studio, so tracking out ideas only costs me time. I'm a solid player and arranger with strong melodic ideas. I also have a lot of friends/aquaintances that are strong players/singers and willing to track any tunes I have prepared.

here are some acoustic gtr song starts with a basic lead melody. I'd be most interested in working with a lyricist who is open to trying to fit words to my melody/phrasing schemes. Not necessarily exact matching of melody and phrasing...just a scaffold for ideas:
