It's such a shame that we're in different countries and not local to each other as I'd love jam with you and compose new songs. But I'm also frustrated living where I am in a way too small retirement flat - it's even freaking haunted, which is a pain! - with only plasterboard walls separating me from an older lady neighbour, which makes doing anything live impossible. I recently bought a new Fender acoustic as I thought it would get me back into playing again, but I've not played it since it arrived as just tuning it up and discovering that I'm really out of practice I had my neighbour and her forever guests scrambling to the walls to listen, which being so audible is a real put-off as it's a distraction. The only song with my vocals on YT is this, which not being BiaB I won't post as a main post, even though others do, so as you can't read the YT blurb from here this is an edit of how it came about:

Back in 1969, aged 18, I wrote some songs for the second local band I was in as a drummer, one of which was a simple two-chorder called "Still On My Mind" which was about losing my first true love. Many years later in 1988 when playing it solo on acoustic guitar I felt it was too negatively self-indulgent and so I decided to reverse the theme and make it about my leaving a lady and then growing from it. For example "Still On My Mind" began with the lyrics, "You know you gave up all our hopes / But do you realise what you've done to me?", which I changed in the new 1988 version, retitled "Will Or My Mind", to "I know I gave up all your hopes / I didn't realise what I did to you", then I made similar changes throughout, plus I added new and positive 'chorus' lyrics. … / … [This is] an impromptu recording … which unrehearsed I played to test a new microphone. [Right at the end you can hear the whine of my previous PC's fans].
