Horse Whispering Music
Welcome to my site. I'm just a songwriter out here on my own, trying to get back to writing a few songs after a long absence. (No one seemed to miss me, by the way.) As per my way of doing things differently than everyone else, I defined a new genre of music. I call the music "Horse Whispering Music";. The reason I did this was to allow me to measure my success as a songwriter. If I measured my success in the usual ways I would probably be defined as a failure. You can find out more about Horse Whispering Music at HorseWhisperingMusic.com. As time goes on I am seeing my songwriting improve. My voice is not as solid as it once was, but that is coming back as well. If you're at this site you probably know something about me since I don't really promote the site other than word of mouth. So please feel free to send me your input on how you like what I'm doing. One of the main goes of Horse Whispering Music is that it should communicate something and if my songs do that, I'm doing part of the job correctly. One of the advantages I have is that I have no natural ability or talent. That's not to say that I don't have talent or ability. What I'm saying is that if you feel that I have any talent or ability it's because I worked at it. I consider this an advantage because it means if I can find way of learning what I need to know then I can keep going. (I've seen many people with tons of natural ability and talent end up not as far as I thought they'd go, because they never evolved beyond their natural ability.) Also, if you think I'm making progress it means that anyone can do what I am doing. C u r r e n t P r o j e c t horse whispering music - the new CD (working)

Lyrics
I Was the Head of My Father’s Family Glenn L. Bennett My father left us without a single word He had to go away was all my sister heard She never knew what kind of man he was I didn’t think she ever had to know because Chorus: I was the head of my father’s family Took all I’ve had and all my ability Somehow knew what to do when I didn’t have a clue It’s amazing how we all made it through Now I have a family I’m makin’ on my own It seemed like double duty to have my own home At least I know something about all the work it takes No I’m not perfect but I won’t make the same mistakes Chorus Times are hard and our plans keep going wrong There’s too much to do I don’t know if I belong Although it might be easy to just be on my way I’ll do my best so my son won’t have to say Chorus
