There is something very special about finding a group where its ok to break out into a song...without getting strange looks. You da man!

In my 4 years with them, i've only taught them Christmas Carols and basic music theory.. but if someone would like to work with them on songwriting and spread awareness about this life-threatening disease, how it feels like for the patients and get more families to step forward to seek help from the association (rather than live in recluse for fear of shame), it would be great!

Sort of thought of it when I recalled that Richard & his girlfriend are working in this line. Hey, just had an idea…maybe we should try a

And the music played...wow! Thanks for listening to my raw compositions which I hope are not too jarring! I really enjoyed the songs shared and the company and it has inspired me very much. Jeremy: looks like you're moving on to bigger things although you had said "I never wanted Songcraft to become big. And I still feel the same way. It would be too much of a headache to run a huge group. Smaller is always easier to manage." I guess the vibes of the group has inspired you to dream big. There's no harm in that and it would probably motivate us. I just hope that with all the "plans", we won't get too stressed up and forget the sharing of our lives and songs with each other, the essence of how the group started (well at least that's how I feel). As long as we keep the passion alive, think we'll survive. Happy New Year! May Songcraft continue to be a crafter of songwriters. PS: Have given the poster, programme & postcard to the library, so we'll have a record of Songcraft somewhere at least. :P Although it’s only been a few months since I joined the group, it’s been wonderful to forge new friendships with people of the same interest.
