The Houghton Project
My Musical Journey.................
The journey began in my early twenties, playing bass guitar in cover bands. Eventually working into writing and playing originals (I would write the lyrics and bass lines for the bands original songs). After a while, it became a passion. I would always record every live rehearsal and listen back to the tapes looking for anything that could use improvement, and there was usually a lot of room for improvement, if you know what I mean.. The fine young man that played drums in the last band I was in, became my best friend. We had sort of a musical bond always talking about music and bands. He had a guitar part he came up with, and I had some lyrics that I had just written about single women looking for Mr. Right so we combined them and wrote our first original song called Mr. Right. We wrote several songs together with the band after that, until one day he found out he had cancer in one of his legs. He ended up losing his leg (but kept playing the drums! ) Finally though, he lost his battle with cancer. I felt an obligation to carry on the songwriting that we started years ago, so I put together a home recording studio and started writing and recording songs. I am currently working on a demo CD for my daughter who has been blessed with an amazing voice.Band/artist history
