My CD "I Won't Apologize", recorded with Danny Parks on guitars and mandolin, is now available on my website http://ruthgreenwood.com or on CDBaby at http://cdbaby.com/rgreenwood. And various songs are getting airplay on FM and Net stations in the US, Canada and Japan! (Tonight I'm recording a promo for Shonan Beach FM, a station near Tokyo...a station ID in my best broken Japanese!!) I am, most of all, a songwriter, loving anything anything creative, honest and bittersweet. I've had songs recorded in New York and Nashville, on national TV and on a #1 album (ok, that one #1 or in the Top 5 all across Europe, on RCA)... Play occasionally at Nashville's Bluebird Cafe . Will be back there in April and also at New York City's Bitter End on 4/23. My song "Wish I'd Known" was chosen as one of 10 finalists in the Country Division of the USA Songwriting competition, and my song "I Won't Apologize" was awarded an Honorable Mention in the Nashville Song Search contest.

Lyrics
I WON'T APOLOGIZE I will stand by the door Looking down at the floor If I have to, I will even leave the room I'll be a lady In what I say and do. But I WON'T APOLOGIZE for loving you. I will keep to myself Since you're here with someone else I won't break down 'Til this long day is through But if someone asks me I'll have to tell the truth Cause I WON'T APOLOGIZE for loving you. When love is meant to be It should come easily But every time I climb a mountain I find a higher one ahead of me We've been friends a long, long time I know your heart will never be mine But these feelings that I have are nothing new I will take them to my grave I will offer no excuse 'Cause I WON'T APOLOGIZE I don't apologize No, I WON'T APOLOGIZE for loving you.
