It’s never too late and, if you hurry, you may even hear Gordon Lightfoot sing your masterpiece. He’s 83 and still singing.

I'm still playing and singing his stuff, but gave up long ago on being a song writer. You either have the talent or not. I've read these guys sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and have to write down a song. The music is clamoring to get out.

But I'm pretty good at sarcasm. Same thing, right? Right?

I've read these guys sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and have to write down a song.

A few months ago, at 67, I became one of "these guys". One day I heard two beautiful women commiserate on a Zoom call about how hard it was to be beautiful. As I was putting my head down on the pillow that evening a song appeared in my mind, "It's Tough to be Me".

Then came my song about essential oils, "There's An Oil for That", which I've actually had recorded. And just yesterday I finished a semi-autobiographical song about the Law of Attraction, called "Attraction".

Who knows where it will go from here?

Gordon Lightfoot stayed at home while his girlfriend went out to the bars at night because he had “Sundown” in his head. He really dodged a bullet with her. She ended up with John Belushi and went to prison for helping him OD.
