Passed a homeless guy on the street and I started writing his backstory in my head. I wanted to write a song about it.

What If It Was You?

I’ve been playing guitar since I was 14, mostly acoustic ballads. I took up the bass in 1990 and joined a local band. I’ve been playing more electric guitar and bass lately, and I retired in 2022 to spend more time playing music and writing books. I have 11 guitars and 3 basses. I recently purchased a Casio CTX-700 keyboard and an Alesis nitro 10-piece electronic drum kit. I use Audacity to record each instrument track and then combine and mix them together to create a finished recording.
