Hi old friends (Wyman, Alan, Corey and Johnny V) and new friends Lynn and Ben, hope 2007 will see the muse down under again. Thanks so much for taking the time to have a look at this one. Originally posted in 2000, never did get music, I think Idamarie was looking at it back then, but I hear it as a fairly slow waltzy kind of melody. I'm grateful for the bridge ideas and will see what happens. When I listened to my favourtie Christmas song (Blue Christmas, sung to me especially by Ben) I realised how few words are in the lyric and how beautifully simple the song is. I intend to make an effort this year to write more but with less words - if you read the lyrics in the sleeves of most CD's, unless it's a story song, the lyrics are mostly quite short. The trick is to come up with an idea and just write what is needed - no more (and ain't that the hard part). Cheers all, and a very Happy New Year to you. Judy
