Quite a departure for me, my first attempt at a love song, ....well more of a breaking up song really.
Hope you like it.

Good stuff. You just have to start playing out. Your too good not to be doing gigs.

[Geyser]

I really enjoy listening to your songs Jomi. In my opinion you have real talent. Keep up the good work your a pleasure to listen to.

Jomi,
Another beautiful piece of work. I enjoy this sytle.

[Jomi]

Thank you everyone, it's great that there are people who like my music and take the time to comment.

I have a real problem with doing gigs - nerves; I'm an absolute wreck, my hands start to shake and my voice trembles - not a very good combination for playing guitar and singing.
I haven't tried for about 20 years, my ex-wife didn't like my playing, so the guitars were more or less redundant for all that time and I stopped going to the folk clubs.
It would be a huge step for me to actually sing in front of people.

You need to find an open mic night at a pub. They have them for players and other nights for songwriter players. An easy way to get your feet wet since most of the players up there are going to have a broad range of playing and vocal skills.

Lovely song again. If I had your talent I don't think I would let those nerves get in the way. Maybe look for smaller venues like clubs or maybe pubs where you know a few folk and just go for it.

That was beautiful , Jomi.You are awesome.You gotta get past the nervousness and share that with more people.

[elganto]

nothin short of brilliant............i have your stuff put on disc (hope you dont mind)and i listen to it everyday going to work and it sets me up for the rest of my day....thanks lol

This is another great song, Jomi. I agree that you should find an open mic night or some such - your music is far too enjoyable not to share! You've got great talent as a player AND a songwriter - definitely a combination that not everybody has.

[Jomi]

Thank you again eveyone, I'm still in shock from the comments from my last song, a very nice kind of shock though!

I already go to couple of clubs and people have encouraged me to have a go, it's just such a hurdle. I really do want to share music with others. I actually tried hypnotherapy!!
Finding this website was amazing, I get to share music without having to stand in front of eveybody, I get comments and suggestions from very talented people and even a fabulous critique from Steve (Solidwalnut) it's just a pity I joined just as they stopped allowing cover songs - or perhaps not - I'm putting a lot more effort into writing, and also studying some of the lessons here.

Elganto, I'm really very flattered that you like the songs enough to put them on a cd. I hope you enjoy them for a long time, I'm working on a couple more, so maybe it won't be such a short cd!!

Thank you again everyone,

John
