How many of you are musicians on CS?
Just curious on who is a musician/singer/songwriter and what kind of music really speaks to you? Any interesting stories you have when youve written songs or if you've preformed with interesting people? or whatever you want to share to inspire us. I'll start out.I've been writing lyrics since I was a teenager. I used to wake up with songs in my head and write them down. It came pretty natural for a few years anyways. Then in 2009 I met a country singer and ended up managing him for a year and a half. Best experience ever.I learned alot about the business and the hard work involved to even get your music out there.After that I started writing again. I met a cowboy a year later and wrote a song.
Cowboy and stars
We were sitting -outside- it was late one night
The moonlight- shone in her hair
I was playing- her a song- on my guitar
We were breathing- in that - country air
She looked at me- with love- in her eyes
I held her- close- in my arms
We made love- All night long
on the grass- beneath the stars
Chorus- She said-- You had me at cowboy
I told her-- She had me at stars
She said, She loved- the way I loved her
She felt safe- in my cowboy arms
She said, She- would- always be faithful
Her heart- would- forever be true.
Because I had her-- at cowboy
And she had me-- at stars.
She- didn't mind - I loved the country
She- didn't mind - my red neckin ways
She- didn't try- and change me
She just- loved me - anyways
She loved- that- I'm a cowboy
and to that- I must be true
She loved- all- my cowboy lovin
And I loved- all- her lovin too
Chorus- She said-- You had me at cowboy
I told her-- She had me at stars
She said, She loved- the way- I loved her
She felt safe- in my cowboy arms
She said, She- would always- be faithful
Her heart- would- forever be true.
Because I had her-- at cowboy
And she had me-- at stars.
Still remember that night- almost- 20 years ago
playing- to her- on my guitar
Moon- still shining- in her hair
Still loving her - under the stars
There's things- in life- that make you smile
take your baby- and hold her- in your arms
Your never to old- you're never too late
to make love to her-under the stars
Chorus- Because-- You- can have her- at cowboy
and -- She -can have- you- at stars
She- will love= your cowboy lovin
She'll feel safe- in your cowboy arms
For That- She- will always- be faithful
Her heart- will- forever- be true.
Because you had her-- at cowboy
And she had you-- at stars.
Forever Ill be her cowboy- and she'll forever be my stars
Now I'm writing again and looking forward to hear back from other writers, musicians etc.

I played guitar for 24 years, not so good at writing lyrics or singing, its the music part that I am into.
Me? Musician?
Nope. I'm almost perfectly ungifted along those lines.
The only thing I can play is a radio.
Couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. With a handle.
Good luck with your search.
I was with the NZ Navy drum core, and over the last few years im with our Waitaki Girls High Youth Orhestra our Oamaru Garrison Brass band plus two concert bands in Austraila when im there .
I do percussion and involves many different styles of music so lots to learn. plus 4 wind instruments melocdica Altonium bugle and accordian
We have our concert coming up in 2 weeks for our Waitaki Boys High and will play the first two numbers we have 27 members from our 3 schools and 7 of us in the 40 to 75 age group,

I'm a frustrated karaoki singer, could never hit a note, I always give it my best shot with the help of alcohol but never could...but I always managed to have lots of fun though...feels euphoric for me
I've been singing since I was in grade school! I use to sing in public quite a bit but haven't done much of that in the last couple of years! I still love to sing!
That is awesome. You have had alot of accomplishments and I can tell you are passionate. The fact you had a song used in that movie well done!!! You should be writing the blogs and helping us lesser musicians out. lol
Im rather shy so it takes me some liquid courage to sing in front of ppl although I prefer to write lyrics and have someone else sing them. I cant read notes or write notes. Im sure you sing beautifully and the fact you get up to sing is great. Keep singing
You are very inspiring and wow thats alot of instruments. I can tell you have a very creative side and lots of energy. Hope your concerts go well. I love NZ although havent been there but seen pictures and its an amazing looking place. Pleased to meet you.
