Hi. I am a song writer and am looking for someone who might like to record some of the songs I have written. I have gospel songs as well as country. If you give me an idea of what you would like, I can sit down and write you a song in just a short time. I have sent out cassettes to people I have met on the internet with songs I wrote for anniversaries, for birthday presents and just for fun. If you would like me to write you a song, you can email me @ waathena@yahoo.com. Say :Write me a song: so I know it is from soundclick and I will get back with you about details for the song ok. My problem is that my songs are acapello and I would love it if the songs I write were actually recorded by a real band, instead of just me singing and using my keyboard. It's ok for small gifts and just for fun, but isn't really professional sounding.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I was born in Upper Sandusky, Ohio and was raised all over the United States, traveling with my father, who was a professional horse trainer and who followed the rodeo circuit for years doing expeditions training horses in rodeo arenas during breaks at rodeo events. My family and I were raised on horse back and I wrote songs as a child, and I still do, just for fun. I am now married, have 3 children of my own and 2 grand children.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I sing just for family and friends and occasionally at church.
Your musical influences
Dolly Paron, Martina McBride, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, George Jones, I love anybody with a great story in song and who has a great voice and songs in general, all kinds of music.
What equipment do you use?
computer mic and a tape recorder and keyboard
Anything else?
I hope someone would like some of my songs and want to hear more or record something I wrote;
