Influences:   any well thought out composition or song

This is my third year.. Made it last year all 14. This year will be another great opportunity to collab again. I have been using Songspace.com and Hooktheory.com to flesh out ideas and put them down.
I live in Montreal - play piano, guitar. I use Cakewalk to compose and make simple recordings. I love making something from nothing. I love telling stories. I love it when someone's voice and style adds life to one of my compositions.

  You're welcomed to write your own take of Feline Thoughts, and I'll happily listen to it, but on my side, it is complete as is. Thanks. 😀

  Marty, I have a couple lyrics jotted down for Weather Channel Girl. I have a gmail account for you, should I email them there if you want to check them out?

  Excellent job with Koala Cay, Marty. IMO it's up there with "Voila, An American Dream" in terms of imagined escapism.

  Hi Marty, I just wanted to let you know a couple of things:
  
  1. Hooktheory is pretty slick. I wish it cooperated better with Band-In-A-Box; on the other hand, I might dive in and you'd never see or hear from me again.
  
  2. I've spent most of the day figuring out how HookTheory works by doing a take on "Last Of The Wild Horses." I've finished a first pass and am going back through to figure out the chords. Hopefully I'll have something to share with you in a day or so.

  Sounds good, maybe you can work in more references to koalas than I managed to. 😀

  Hookpad, huh? I'd never heard of it before but it looks like it could be a nifty inspiration generator.
  
  Here's what I came up with for "Koala Key." Although to make the last verse rhyme you have to pronounce it "Koala Cay." I think that's appropriate.
  
  ----------------------------------------
  
  Don't you wish you could escape this dark and cold.
  You know there's more to life than growing old
  I know just the place to be
  on the Coral Sea
  and we'd live where all Ko-al-as roam free.
  Why don't you come there with me.
  
  We'll take the boat from Brisbane, leave our cares behind
  Sip a marguerita and we'll start to unwind
  The journey isn't very far,
  We'll come as we are
  And walk to the hotel because there won't be any cars
  Dinner will be underneath the stars.
  
  We'll make love to the rhythm of the seas
  And the smell of eucalyptus on the breeze
  We'll have our breakfast by the bay
  Watch the dolphins play
  Send the boat to take us back to Queensland away
  Our permanent new address, starting from today
  Is here at Ko-al-a Cay.

  Hi @rbmarty000 - you are very welcome to collab for FAWM on the song 'Summer Without Bees' 😀 FAWM collabs are for fun, so don't worry about polished and so on 😀 I just love hearing what folks come up with to my words.
