Decided to lyrically change the POV on this one.  Thought I'd be a devil for a change

That Ole Devil Called Love (Doris Fisher, Allan Roberts)

I  am 66  years  old  and  been  playing  music  off  and  on  all  my  life ,
 Starting  out  in  folk  clubs. In  the  60s   going to Les Cousins  in  Waldor St  and  a club called  Bunnjis, 
When  my  friend  found  a mouth-organ on  the  beach  i  learned  to play it   and  we  formed  a Blues  Band   
 MY  ideal  was  Sonny Boy  Willemson,  Browny  Mcgee
  and Sonny Terry.
That  led  to  joining rock bands  and  singing  round  pubs .  Bands  kept  splitting so i  decided to
    Sing some  Opera,  and  Art songs   [poetry  set  to  music with  just a piano]   I  turned  out  not  to  be  a bad  1st  Tenor  giving song  recitals.  I  have sang        G & S  with  a  orchestra  as a solo  artist  and  in  the  corals.   I  spent 3 years  singing  in  old time  
    Music halls [wanted to try barber-shop]  Left  that  and went into a punk  band.  After  the  punk  band  I  was  in a Duo  singing  and playing Cole Porter Songs   and  popular songs from the 20s to 60s  on  the   guitar  with a friend,  Loved  it
 Now  i am writing  and  playing my  own songs I  am  on Soundcloud   I  am  Dyslexic
But  good  with  music  I  worked  as  a  builder  for  30  years Am  now  going to take music a bit  more  sere-as   and  will play  the  folk  festivals  touring  in  a camper van.  Music  should  be  explored like a country  that  is  how  i  enjoy  it
