This is my Daughter Shannon. She is 10 yrs old. She wrote the song on her own, no help from me, she plays the guitar and sings. I handled bass and recording duties.

I think that's a cool little song! I like the melodic changes. :)
What a great opportunity for Shannon to have access to multi-track recording when she's just ten years old.  I hope she will stay interested and the two of you can have lots of fun with it!

These days I merely dabble at being old and wise.
But I swear, I used to absolutely excel at being young and stupid.

very good for someone so young.

Majorly cute and well written, Shannon. Have you ever heard of the 80's band The Go Go's? They would have bought this from you in a heartbeat!

Cheers guys, she did this a while back, and is enjoying reading your comments! We are currently working on an Abba song :( lol.

Very catchy little song -I played it over and over again and it just kept getting better and better. Keep it up, you have a gift, and at your age you have a lot of potential to keep improving.

I wish I would have picked up an instrument at your age, seriously! When I was about 12 yrs old I desperately wanted a drum kit, but my mother wouldn't buy me one, for obvious reasons (too darn noisy). So then I asked for a guitar but I got Atari instead (yes I'm old). I didn't pick up the guitar until I was almost 20 yrs old. I still have never owned a drum because I live in an apartment complex. Be thankful your father is helping you to learn an instrument, take lessons as often as you can, I promise you will not regret it when you get older.

Keep up the great work. I'd love to hear more.

To be an artist at 10.  Yikes, you must be absolutely beaming with pride.  What a fantastic way to connect with your daughter.

My compliments.
