Tomorrow is a long time

I am a songwriter, guitarist and singer, with over 50 years' experience in making music, solo, in duos, trios and bands, covering various styles. 
My circumstances are such that I am now mostly working alone, but still interested in collaborations - including internet-enabled - in writing, recording and performing, my main focus being on writing new songs and trying to get them heard.
