Title: Been away for a while, but not far
Post by: SE on July 15, 2017, 03:18:33 PM
I,ve been away for a while but not far, Ive been lurking in the backround. A few people have known, I don,t know how many that I,ve not been well, just a about a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer at the back of my tongue and near my voice box and also on both sides of my neck so I wasn,t really up for music, I had other things to deal with.
So now I,ve had all the treatment ( Radio and Chemo ) and have come through most, but not all of the side effects I,m in a better place now, all my scans up till now have been negative.So it,s getting back to normal as best as I can.
That means playing guitar and pottering about in my shed, my voice is not the same as it was, it,s only recently that Ive felt confident enough to try it out.
So here goes first song in a long time, over in originals,

Glad to hear you're on the mend and making music again. I'm listening to "Just a State of Mind" (https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=27085.0) now and my first impression is that it's fantastic!

So good to see you back and well.  Just been over to Originals and listened to your new song.  Your voice sounds cool to me (as does your new guitar and amp).

SE, I didn't know you had been ill for the last year. I feel for you and your family having to go through that but it's great news to hear you've turned the corner! Keep on making music...it's great therapy. I love your latest song!

Glad you're back John. I imagine it has been a tough year, that chemo and radio shit is well.. pretty shit.

Just keep getting those negative scans - odd when a negative is a positive.

Cheers, Mike.
