On songwriting and becoming an accidental singer

 I am a writer and always have been. Some of my stories are pages and pages long,  but others come out in verse  with a melody attached. And, since songs don't sing themselves, that job became mine. I am an accidental singer. As a songwriter, it brings me great joy when others ask to sing my songs. But I must say, that stumbling upon and discovering my own voice late in life has been a delight for me.  

Telling stories through music has become one of my greatest joys.

My tiny musical novels.

Characters appear and stories form. It's so much fun to tell stories in this way. Especially when powerful musicians chime in.
