Doing Pat Pattison's free online course gave me focus (I need a reason to do anything) some connection with others and some interesting projects to do and I ended up with a few songs i liked, material to perform and the basis for a CD. Just get into a project. The enthusiasm will build. Cheers.

Richard,

If you need a truly appreciative audience, pack your acoustic into your nearest Nursing Home. We/they relate well to the music of the 50s and 60s. You will find greater rewards than money really exist. What dollar-value can you place on the foot-tapping and smile of a forgotten mother or grandmother?

I found many new friends from Pat Pattison's online Songwriting Course last year, many of whom still communicate regularly.

Creating music, or anything worthwhile, is cyclical. You may only need a temporary diversion and the "spark" of creativity will re-blossom with renewed vigor.

You are always among the first to jump in to help others and your diverse knowledge is much sought-after. Perhaps if you shift the focus and emotional energy toward helping others (the aged shut-ins) you would be well rewarded.

My 2 centavos.
