I'm an amateur musician and songwriter. Though I've had guitars since I was a teen, I only recently started taking the instrument seriously. A few years ago I took a friend's advice and started playing at song circles and ceilis in the area. Through that experience I've become a much better musician. At song circles, people are no longer asking me to 'Go Home and Practice' anymore!I know I still a long way to go, to get where I want to be in my music, but I'm enjoying the journey so far.I am also a member of the Fort Worth Songwriter Association.http://www.fwsa.com/

This is a remake. The first version I posted, I performed, right after I finished writing it. So I hadn't really learned it yet. And yes, song writers often have to learn their songs after they write them. I know it seems weird. :)Also the previous version was a poor quality video, I've made some...
