What's the story.......morning glory......

across the big pond - or is it the great beyond - dwells a crotchety old songwriter who writes songs (or is it rights wrongs - i get so confused) that nobody has the time or inclination to listen to - ‘ceptin’ his wife and daughter and a few odd friends - but then they're odd aren’t they, so who listens to them. after many moons of writing and recording and scratching and biting this chronic ne'er-do-well always seem to come up short - but then 5’7 isn’t big, now is it? (i'm shrinking daily - you know
everyday in every way we all get a little bit older and a little bit slower.)

after submitting song after song after song after song to this that or the other thing organizations he got no offers, just a come on from the whores on 7th Avenue (whoa, wait a minute that's Simon and Garfunkel-sorry.)

anywho...back to the story.....

so..... after all these trials and tribulations ("oh, the humanity"-in reference to dirigibles and Herbert Morrison..not withstanding) did the old songwriter give up? (i tried keeping a stiff upper lip, but it hurt's my face.)
nah, i can't be bothered with bothering, i write and record these songs because that's what i do (my apologies to field of dreams). 
so, if you are still interested after all this ranting and raving - I am Richard Downs and I am a songwriter at large ( i gained a few pounds over the summer ) from Newark, Delaware (delawhere?-go figure).

These songs are what keep me creative, I strive to write music that is atypical and interesting, yet retaining groove and melody.
