this local musician that I go to, to record my songs said he thinks its great , that i am finally trying to do something with the songs , that he helped me to write. . . (but) ... he said,'' I have one request ... that you never tell anyone that I was the one who helped you to write them. ( ... even tho i couldn't hit a string or pluck a note to save my life ...) he said,"" Feel free to present yourself as the only author/performer or you can make up fake names for the drummer, bass and guitar. That's no problem. """ so i have agreed , and have deleted his name from my page...some people! bob shea ---------- *.you can reach me at .............. bob shea pobox 760697 melrose ma. 02176 ------------------------ ----------------- I was thinking about what my friend was saying , and I get it. He was saying , if I am to be judged by my music someday, I want to be judged by music I created from whole cloth! And not by music somebody just 'brought in' , and I tailored ( it's like the difference between designing a dress and altering a dress. ) ----------------------------- So one day, my friend , whom i record with . said * '' bob , the way you sing these songs, they always sound like Woody Guthrie songs, but then you tell me, that you want, a rock feel, to the songs! which gives me a lot of freedom.'' * So I told him, he's got total freedom!!! We rock out! it's the most fun i have all week! .......................................... I don't play an instrument... notes and chords have never made any sense to me. ....................................................... I'm hoping a band or artist will hear one of my songs, and want to do their version of it , live out in the clubs! *.you can reach me at .............. bob shea pobox 760697 melrose ma. 02176 ------------------------ ………………………………........ I DROVE A BUS FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS. ( most of it for a non-union place, but now i have a union job!!!! with some protection) .. . Then I got into an accident , outside of work , and I spent almost four months in a hopsital bed! , ..., ( twelve days in the Melrose- Wakefield hospital, and then three and a half months, in this rehabilitation hospital, then i slept in my living room , till i got strong enough to climb the stairs) ... Now Now I'm a customer service agent. i help people at work , navigate the system . ................................ ... ......... ................ . *I LISTEN TO my songs , OVER AND OVER. SO FAR THAT'S AS FAR AS I'VE TAKEN IT. I'VE TRYED DIFFERENT THINGS ,...(MAILING MY cd'S OUT , HANDING THEM OUT AT WORK, AND STUFF LIKE THAT ... NOTHING YET ) ................. ............................... hi my name is bob shea , and I'm a singer-songwriter. . . . . I don't play an instrument ! ! ! ! strings and notes have never made any sense to me . . ! ! . . . ( a c-note , a c-chord , a c-Vitamin , whats the difference ? ) so THEN i saw this ad , that said ... ,'''SONGWRITERS! , leave your band behind! first song ,fifty dollars!'''. ... so i answered the ad and it was this local musician who has turned his ' 'closed in porch', into a recording studio. and for one hundred dollars per song, he turns my songs into finished CD's. .................. bob shea )
