Hi Folks, a little about me

 

I'm just a guy with his feet dangling off the edge of the planet into the universe. I thought you should know a bit about this guy.

I’m a runaway under the North Star. A dreamer of great, relentless dreams that seem to take over my head like the stars take over the sky at night. A lifetime creative my career as an artist covered fine art, matte painter, commercial illustration, design, and advertising art. I have traveled the roads least followed, stumbling stone to stone writing the stageplay of my life as I went along. I managed my sister early in her singing career in northern California in the sixties. My Father was a lifetime performing musician who played upright Bass and Guitar. I had an overwhelming urge to write songs as an outshoot of my lifetime love affair with poetry and writing in general.

And so here I am on the Ramp the songwriting site with the nicest group of people I have yet to meet on the web and looking forward to helping as a moderator and hoping you musical types out there will make all the forums on the Ramp SING!

Thanks for the opportunity!

 Hi Gario,

A hearty Congrats on becoming the Moderator here in Lyric Lounge. I know you're going to be making every songwriter

that posts a  lyric here, feel very welcome and like family . and I say that because you are one of the bestest friends I

have!  Your gift for writing is second to none. Always inspiring and apreciated!   I love your lyrics, finished songs and  especially

love your poetry.  

Hey Gwyneth, thanks for the rah-rah welcome and the super words about what I do. You are very special to me as a friend as you well know. I look forward to our chats regarding all that is weird, wonderful and slightly goofy in this world and always looking to your next write. You are as I would say, "Far reaching and cool!"

Nice meeting you Gary. I thought I saw somebody with their feet dangling in space......and they were wearing Earth shoes.......didn't realize it was you. ߘ

Just wanted to welcome you aboard to the team, Gary!  We appreciate your enthusiasm for SongRamp and your interest and willingness to take reins of the Lyric Lounge.  Looking forward to seeing what ideas you come up with and implement here to generate even more interest and participation in this forum.  

 

Thanks for the welcome Dale. Pleased to be aboard and will do what I can for the Lounge in particular, and the Ramp in General.  Appreciate your interest.

Good to see you again, Gary.  You really hang in there!
