Same old Shadows

I am retired and therefore have the privilege of being able to spend a lot of time on my favorite hobby. I sing in two choirs, one of which is purely a cappella (my favorite). I play a lot of guitar, in recent years a lot of fingerpicking and I am writing my own songs. And I really enjoy singing, previously as a lead singer in various bands, now mainly in my two choirs (vocal range: bass). I love to listen to music and have a very broad taste, from classical to rock, pop, country, musicals and even live jazz. I taught myself to play the guitar. So my technical skills are limited. But that's not a problem, I prefer melodic guitar playing with fewer notes and more rests anyway. I also really enjoy recording songs. The corresponding applications have improved massively in the last few decades and nowadays even amateurs can make recordings of reasonable quality. What is certain, however, is that I want to continue to write my own songs and will not resort to AI. I would be happy to get in touch with other songwriters and exchange ideas about our hobby.
