Artist History I've been writing poetry for over 45 years and lyrics for over 35. I first started trying to set my lyrics to music about 25 years ago, writing out the arrangements by hand. Since then, they've been transferred to a series of computers through various stages ofdevelopement. I've been entering song contests since the early 1980s and about a dozen awards between the American Song Festival and The Music City Song Festival,including 3 Quarter Finalist Awards. In the last 3 years,I've begun trying the song contests again, which was the driving force in creating the current versions of my songs.
