I have played some little part in the overall lie of things inasmuch as I write the occasional song for others to sing. I have had two songs..in 2004 and 2005 in the "Write a Lincolnshire Folk Song competition" and been in the final ten with both...in 2005 I managed to achieve a second place....perhaps the song was good but the singer made it what it eventually was (She is a mudcatter) I will be entering again this year and have a great singer performing the song for me...better not praise him too much as he may read this (being a catter himself). Who knows, my song might get into the final ten again...that is good enough for me....to see it performed to a packed theatre is reward enough...although winning would be a bonus.
