Hello
 I’m Tony from Doncaster. Before I begin my introduction I firstly want to apologise to you all because I have been a member of this forum for over a year now and never introduced or communicated with its beautiful members. However, I have silently read and listened to some overwhelming lyrics, music and media chat that underpins this group special people. “So why now, you probably asking your self’s”? I know would. Well although have a free sprit sadly I’m a slave to chronic OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) that makes socialising very difficult for me because the feelings of anxiety and social levels of acceptance, so I have to be sure of the people that I communicate with.  “Okay, so what has this have to with a signwriting forum”?  Well. Despite my condition the only true refection of myself is creating melodies (Acoustic Guitar) and lyric writing. How got on this stage coach is another story and probably not really that important, but where it will take me is, even if it is only the next stop.
Thank you for reading my blurb. Please feel free to contact me if want too. Please look after your self’s God Bless
Stay Strong
Stay Well
TONY

Hi Tony, we need a few more UK northerners! It’s a fairly gentle place here, we only have arguments about ABBA!  ;) So welcome if you are going to join in. If not, nothing wrong with being a reader of the boards and listener.

All the best anyway.
My latest novel: pls check it out!

‘Gavin & The Bodysnatchers’, a quirky comedy crime thriller. Easily found on Amazon.

Nice to cyber meet you Tony,

I would encourage you just to go for it and post some of your work - the people on here are really kind , as you know 😜

Don’t stress too much about the forum because I know you will stress enough in other aspects of your life...

The beautiful thing about music is that it allows us to communicate feelings that can be very difficult through other mediums...

Personally I think what you’ve written is probably the bravest thing I have ever read on here...

Stay safe

Andy

@oldhedgey - welcome Tony, don’t you worry bout a thing, it lively and funky here, it seems that people dip in and out, youve seen how it is here, music is so subjective anyway, so post your ideas.

Does the OCD mean that you are perfectionist in trying to get the melody line right, if you make a mistake on the guitar does it need to done again?

I would be very interested to hear you work Tony.

Hi @oldhedgey, Tony, I've only been here for a short while, but I've found it to be an interesting place already.

On the guitar and lyrics front, the humble acoustic guitar is the 'modern day bard's instrument of choice. To me the act of creating something is one of the most fulfilling activities anybody can do. you are not, like so many, a consumer, you are a creator. There are so many stories to tell, so we better get on with telling them all :-)

Welcome @oldhedgey!  As others have said, we are a really friendly bunch.  I have only been around this year and I have learnt so much from these guys.

Get stuck in and post a song!

Cheers

Pete

Thank you much for your your kindness it really is privilege to know you. I Do have music to share with you all but I'm not a very good performer just manage to hold a note long enough to get the gist. Anyway as requested I will post something I have written and explanation to the song. Keep a look out for me. Tip invest in some good ear defenders.
yours truly Tony
