Thanks For taking time to do these songs.

Hi Roger!
Well, Roger, it's always a pleasure to receive your thoughtful comments! They are always appreciated! Thank you so much!
And you're welcome regarding my taking the time to do these songs. I think it's good for me; it keeps my hand in song creation without having to do the actual song creation, if you know what I mean.
Twenty-five to thirty years ago I wrote all kinds of music and really worked at it. And for me, writing songs is hard work. It was rewarding but still, hard work.
But today, I am happy to take songs I like from other artists and figure out how to cover them in a reasonable way. There is still song creation in figuring out how to do someone else's song in a way that is true to the artist's concept, but it's
WAY easier than writing a song, at least for me.
And maybe in the process of video recording these songs I might give someone else a few hints at how to play this song so that someone else might decide to go after the same song. Who knows...
I hope you are doing well Roger! I am doing well!
