I have a dear friend whom I've known since she was 17.  She's now 32 and has become an extremely successful actor...as a result she is always so busy so I don't get to see her as often.  She has a phrase that she uses to try to explain her lack of communication due to over-work and says that she has 'fallen off the face of the planet'.  The narrator in the song takes full responsibility for any suffering implied and, apart from feeling sorry for himself, apportions no blame to her in any way.

Fallen Off the Face of the Planet

Fallen Off The Face of the Planet

I am a  raw untrained singer/songwriter.  I allow my songs to speak for themselves and take centre stage beyond my image and lack of expertise.   I started writing songs when I was 17 and have been writing on and off ever since.  My songs sometimes have a message, can be personal, a story about someone else's experience and are often written for someone.  I share some of my life through my songs along my time line, a diary of some of my experiences from 17 till now. I am currently a member of Talent Is Timeless an age positive web based community for the over 50's who write their own songs.   Many of my recent songs have been written from their workshops on subjects we have been set to write about.  I welcome you to join me sharing my songwriting journey and maybe there are parts of that journey where we have travelled together without knowing it!  The purpose of my songs is to touch the hearts of my listeners and to express and share my experiences of the different shades of love that have touched my heart and soul.  If you've taken the time to listen - I thank you.  If it doesn't float your boat, may you find the musical boat that lights up your life, as I have.

Shy Face Troubadour is a fresh project platform for my songs.  Previous releases have been under my name Tony Willé (not the Dutch country artist of the same name).  I have a love of lyrics and melody coupled with colourful chord choices and progressions.  I've played in a few bands around the Midlands including The DAY and PARMA VIOLETS and, most notably, the cult indie band, FELT.  I am a troubadour, a little shy, but paradoxically, never more at home than playing an intimate venue where I can sneak a peek at your faces.

Germinating songwriter, simple country wench, mistress of the soil.

With my roots in the folk revival of the 60s and 70s, I’m a folk singer at heart, in love with everything from unaccompanied traditional folk through to folk rock, contemporary folk, American folk and beyond. 
Over the years, I’ve been inspired by singers such as Anne Briggs, Joan Baez, Sandy Denny, Maddy Prior & Joni Mitchell. More recently I’ve been enjoying the music of Rhiannon Giddens & Karine Polwart.
Having abandoned my music for decades, I’ve been encouraged by dear friends to pick up my guitar and start to sing again. I’ve only recently begun to write my own music and  it feels as if I’ve opened a door and found an undiscovered landscape which I now plan to explore. 
I never knew there were songs within me, but gradually they’re emerging, and so am I.


Im a Tico living at the other side of the ocean.
Greetings
