Harriet,

So you've had those creative juices since you were a little kid? Isn't it fascinating how the mind overcomes boredom! Let's see now...you started writing at age 7. So, that means you've been writing for 20 years, or thereabouts. I somewhat envy those of you who have had the opportunity for a formal music education. I like to think that I am an accomplished guitarist...but I have no formal music education what-so-pever. I sometimes wonder if my skills would be even better had I had that opportunity. I can't help but think they would be better.

Those of you who may not know it, Harriet wrote the music to some lyrics I wrote back in the spring of 2006. She did a wonderful job on them. She is the ONLY person to ever compose the music to any of the 5 or 6 hundred lyrics I have written. She's that good, folks!

Loved your story, Harriet. As is obvious from my song that you put the music to ( I know...using proper grammar it should be "to which you put the music"!), I am pretty open about my life in my writing. But, I am not a real private person. Just the difference in people.

Great story, Harriet! Thanks for sharing it with us. Have a properous 2007!

Alan
