    Hey, thanks so much for the generous comment!! I did write all these lyrics during FAWM, of course, and I do not regard myself as a genius at all (however, thanks for these wonderful words, I had to smile when reading them!). I write ONLY lyrics, which is much, much easier and much less time-consuming than writing music or even a whole song (you would probably be surprised how many of my sets of lyrics have been written in less than 20 mins)... Songs should be valued at least ten times higher, in fact, so you have already beaten me by far... I think there is nothing special about writing 3 or 4 or even 6 or more sets of lyrics a day (some weeks ago, from dusk till dawn, during one single night I have managed to write nine of them, and not even the worst ones of mine...). If you look a bit around under FAWM winners you will find quite a bunch of excellently talented guys who come quite close to me, but who have written much better stuff... It is them who deserve all the respect, not me!

    Thank you for that comment-- my voice actually drives me crazy--nothing comes easy there for me, but I half-ways pull one off here and there!

    Ahhh--SC huh--My daughter used to live near Charleston SC at the naval base. She has a helluva voice-- @musicbykatie smile
