Hey Guys...

I apologize once again for causing such a 'stir' and I hope there are no ongoing hard feelings. I do admit the error in my judgement in posting the song here. I am not the kind of person who looks for attention or controversy, and being new around these parts, I don't want to give anyone the wrong impressions of who I am.

The song was created somewhat out of anger - as I watched the horrific heartbreak of those family members and loved ones dealing with their own personal situations. I cannot even begin to fathom what that must be like for those people. I'm sure everyone one on this board feels similar types of emotions. It is certainly a complex situation for all of us to deal with...

Putting all that aside, though, I still want to be part of this forum. I considered dropping out altogether, in the wake of the firestorm caused by my song. But, I realize that I like it here. I have much to learn about music and songwriting, it is very much a passion, and here I have found folks who share that passion who I can learn from. Talented, friendly folks as well! Perhaps I can help others too.

Discussions about Rights of Free Speech? I think those are important discussions to have, but perhaps there should be a thread over in the Off Topic area. That might solve some of the issue.....

The controversial song was, I assure you, an aberration for me. I promise not to be a lightning rod for division amongst the members of this fine group. In the words of Rodney King - "Can't we all just get along"?
