Thank you everybody for your encouragement! This just having been a let's-try-whether-it-works-at-all thingy, the reaction has been unexpectedly positive, and honestly so, since many also frankly criticized the far less than powerful voice - yep, that is quite correct, comes from hardly even talking anymore for years. Nevertheless, now even some real musicians looked at my stuff and seemingly respect it - as I just bought my first guitar for five bucks (the previous one I found and my dearest made two parts out of it last year, perusing my head - such is life). Now, after not having played for so long, I totally suck and my fingers got blisters right away - even the typing hurts. However, your encouragement may have given me more confidence - it flows better, or I care even less about "mistakes" (to those who emailed that they would not be able to play 15 minutes without making mistakes: My stuff is only "mistakes" - I am never able to play the same again the same way). Anyway, with your encouragement, I will try to finally after 20 years sing the balloon song ("Drifter's Revolution") once all the way - should only take half a year, so it will definitely appear here in a year or two, ha ha. Enough on here for now - after all, I am not a musician, so catch me on my science column on science20 and feel welcome to comment there on deeper issues. Thanks again Sascha
