blessings flow

Hi Folks

So, a while back, I found myself trapped in a doctor’s waiting room, forced to read a lifestyle magazine. You know the ones—full of "10 ways to live forever" and "why kale will change your life." It inspired these lyrics, but for years, I couldn't find a home for them. They’ve been unceremoniously rejected by Rock, Folk, and Blues, and were starting to gather more dust than my record collection.

A friend finally suggested Reggae. The problem? My internal clock is apparently allergic to the "off" beat. I tried, but I think my rhythm section was fighting a civil war. Thankfully, "Band-in-a-Box" stepped in as the mediator to provide the foundation.

At 71, I’ve finally birthed my first Reggae tune "Blessings Flow" . I know the learning curve is steeper than my doctor’s waiting room stairs, so if you’ve got any advice on how to make this old dog learn some new rhythmic tricks, I’m all ears. Bless up! .........please.
