Thanks Jerry, Jeff, Andy, Robert, Russ and Paul :oops:

I am hoping this will encourage those who are following their dreams too, and show that even in small steps, you can get there :o

Sláinte all
Sláinte, Amanda

First, congratulations Amanda! Interesting to me that you got a gig writing lyrics. I have had forwards on songs and am working on cues, but never thought or knew that a lyrics only was a possibility in this millieu.

Thank you everyone :)

John F - I obviously collaborate with composers and singer/songwriters. Sometimes it comes about organically, and sometimes I simply get asked if I can do this or that. It can be writing lyrics to music already composed or/and recorded, and sometimes a composer would like some lyrics to inspire them, or maybe because their strength isn't lyrics.

There are many scenarios and I am hopefully easy going, and open to working in every which way but loose :P
Sláinte, Amanda
