i record my songs at a local recording studio, run by my friend , J.k. ...................... years ago , my friend J.k., talked to me , about his situation, as a teacher, and respecting his privacy. (I USED TO WRITE PRODUCED BY J.k., ON THE CD'S I HANDED OUT , AT WORK , and i must have handed them out to people , he knew. )) ‘’ so I stopped.
The only exception I made was , mentioning his name , on my , myspace page. So the other day , he emailed me this letter.'''' *
Bob, One of my favorite things in the world to do is to make music with you. You are one of my best friends and I absolutely love getting the opportunity each week to be creative and to just sit back and hang out
and shoot the shit about what's going on. I could actually make more
money teaching instead of doing our sessions but I have so much fun doing our sessions. . . . I think that we are making some really great
melodic music and I think that it is really cool that you can get it
out on the internet for some feedback. . . I have one request though..
I am very reticent about sharing with the world any recordings that I
have done . . . . I have no problem with you putting out the music and I really appreciate your recognizing my contribution but I would prefer if you didn't share that info with the world. Feel free to present yourself as the only author/performer or you can make up fake names for the drummer, bass and guitar. That's no problem. I just worry that it could be a problem down the road for me. Whenever I put out my own music, . . .
You are a really good guy Bob. I appreciate the fact that we get to do what we get to do. Thanks for understanding my insecurity. I am very proud to be your friend. J==
''''' he takes everything he does very seriously.
, but it's okay because it's who he is : if he’s ready to let go of something , you can trust it’s right. . . he can carry the weight of the world , a very responsible guy,) ……………………. I was thinking about what my friend was saying , and I get it. He was saying , if I am to be judged by my music someday, I want to be judged by music I created from whole cloth! And not by music somebody just 'brought in' , and I tailored ( it's like the difference between designing a dress and altering a dress. ) ------------- I DROVE A BUS FOR 32. YEARS
.. . Then I got into an accident , outside of work , and I spent almost four months in a hopsital bed! , ..., ( twelve days in the Melrose- Wakefield hospital, and then three and a half months, in this rehabilitation hospital . . ., then i slept in my living room , till i got strong enough to climb the stairs! THAT WAS A BIG DAY!) ... Now I'm a customer service agent. i help people at work , navigate the system .

I don't play an instrument... notes and chords have never made any sense to me. i just write songs about people. then i sing it out loud, until john says ,"okay, i got it". then he takes over and i just sit back , and watch as he taps out a drum beat, then guitar , basss, the works. then i cut him a check for one hundred dollars, and he hands me my finished CD. So one day,
my friend , whom i record with . said * '' bob , the way you sing these songs, they always sound like Woody Guthrie songs, but then you tell me, that you want, a rock feel, to the songs! which gives me a lot of freedom.'' *
So I told him, he's got total freedom!!! We rock out! it's the most fun i have all week! .......................................... I don't play an instrument... notes and chords have never made any sense to me.
........ I'm hoping a band or artist will hear one of my songs, and want to do their version of it , live out in the clubs! LETS TALK!!!! *.you can reach me at .............. bob shea

trying to figure out my next move bob ........... I DROVE A BUS FOR 32 out of the last 34 years. , outside of work, and I spent almost four months in a hopsital bed! , ( twelve days in the Melrose-Wakefield hospital, and then three and a half months, in this rehabilitation hospital, then i slept in my living room , till i got strong enough to climb the stairs) Now I want to pursue my dream of being a songwriter! I don't play an instrument , I'm in my 40's! so I don't realy see a path anywhere, but I am having the best time of my life, writing , demoing, and recording these songs. now, I still don't see a path anywhere ! but I've taken the first step! I was writing them, for a while now I've posted my songs on the web and i'm trying to put together a road map

I write simple songs with Playful, clever, and gentle word play. If the song doesn’t make me smile or laugh or feel good, I put it on the shelf till I can re-imagine it anew.
.................
........... .......... I record my songs with J. K. ......... , Musically, he’s a genious. Put a guitar in his hands , and he’s gifted! A little uptight tho.
He dosen’t let his own music out , because it’s never technically perfect. he’s told me, that as long as I don’t mention his name He doesn’t care what I do with the songs I record with him, I think because he see’s a difference , between his own songs and the ones I bring in. ………………… be happy! it's the funnest way to go!
………… songwriters! Leave the band behind! First song fifty dollars!’’ *
