My Songs

I have 2 songs that someone has written music for and actually have one more in the works right now.

The second one done for me I was not expecting but the guy saw one of my poems and decided it would make a good song. It's called "Help Me Hang On". The genre for this one is alternative rock. Not my favorite genre but then I told the person writing the music that he had a free hand to do whatever he "felt". It's not a bad song and the guy that wrote the music also sang it. He sings better than me, but not a professional by far. I guess I could post this one also in one of the music rooms to see what kind of reaction it gets.

The first one done for me I have already posted. It is called "What Did You Leave Me For". It can be found on SoundCloud. I thought this one came out the better of the two. The person that wrote the music for this one was also the singer. Again, not a professional but better than me.

The one in the works now is called "My Friend Tequila". Although tequila is no longer my friend, I have had those song lyrics for many years, waiting for someone to have the time and patience to write music for it. I finally found someone, and it should be completed shortly.

I plan to write more lyrics. I still have 1 or 2 that have been sitting for a long time, but I need to review them to make sure they are good enough for me to take a chance on showing others.

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
