Welcome To Fifty Five Is The New!

Hello out there!
What's it to you, turning the age of Fifty-five? You don't have to be turning it tomorrow, you could have already turned that corner a while back. That part doesn't matter so much.
While it's important what one feels, what matters most of all that one feels, that one feels anything at all.
So, as an exercise in self-examination and a way of getting over an incredible writer's block, I submit this blog to the World Wide Web, and I submit myself to a bit of mirror gazing.
Inspired by the movie "Julie & Julia," I will blog for one year, which will include my turning fifty-five, and see what I find.
Who knows? Maybe fifty-five will be something fantastic...like the New Me.

Draft Songs



We finally have a name for all the songs that pop out of our heads when we're jamming!  "Draft Songs." It's about time we call them something!  The accompanying video is an example of one such a thing.  It's how we write our music, just sitting together, jamming.  We've learned to keep a tape recorder or a camera going so we can save our future gems...better than running the risk of loosing something worth while!

"I'll Be Damned" just popped out of the blue.  Sure it needs work, but what the heck!  Remember, the Beatles' song "Yesterday" began as "Scrambled Eggs," and aren't we glad that opportunity wasn't missed!!!!

So for today, Fifty Five Is The New Draft Song and for being ready when opportunities present themselves....even if it's only to write a song!
