ew Christmas Tree<br />
with a couple of people I work with, who play music in<br />
clubs, and that inspired me.One woman co-worker,<br />
Theresa, took a few of my lyrics and wrote songs that she<br />
performed locally. She was very encouraging to me. I<br />
write all the time now and always have ideas in my head.<br />
I play some guitar. I have melodies in my mind for most<br />
of the lyrics that I write. I joined Songbay a few months<br />
back. I won their <strong>2019</strong> Lyric contest.The people at Songbay<br />
were able to use the melody I had in my mind and<br />
match it up almost perfect for, “The Dark Road Leads to<br />
Light”. The only thing that limits me is a lack of time. I’ve<br />
been taking some on line classes to help me with my I.T.<br />
career. I would like to write full time and find someone to<br />
collaborate with. I survived stage 3 throat cancer in 2011.<br />
Worth noting as encouragement to anyone. I survived<br />
alcoholism and throat cancer.<br />
For the lyric “Grandma’s Got a New Christmas Tree”. I<br />
thought of it when my wife bought a tree last year. I’m not<br />
sure how long that she had her old tree, but it took a long<br />
time to put it up, piece by piece. My wife is all about<br />
Christmas and she was very excited about the new tree<br />
and how easy that it was to put it together. I decided to<br />
write a lyric. The tree is very nice. In case you can’t tell,<br />
she likes snowmen. It’s worth noting, that where we live,<br />
especially the past few years, we have seen very little<br />
snow. Maybe once or twice a year and usually only a<br />
dusting. I hope everyone enjoys reading my little<br />
Christmas lyric.<br />
