Jo77- no problem.:-)

Bob- you don't have to know music theory just to get a melody and chords down. My brother is a musical genius, child prodigy, etc. who writes complete (tonal!)symphonies, orchestration and all, in one draft, BUT, even though I played classical piano & violin, I do not know much of anything when it comes to theory, yet when I came up with the original tune to my song "That's Not My COlorado" and a couple of others, he was blown away and even a little envious. My ear and my heart have had incredible training in music; I believe that is what allowed me to come up with those tunes. I am sure yours are the same way.

As far as someone to actually notate the music for you, well I don't think you'd have too much trouble finding someone here. If you do, let me know, my brother also is the typical "starving artist".**BG**

You just do your tunes...it'll happen for you.
