Apologies: Issues at home have reduced time on the PC, I seem to be needing to catch up listening to followers tracks. If I seem to be missing on your track lists I apologise and will try to do better. asap.

All my own AI assisted tracks, are free to download. I do not monetise any of these tracks; I do however claim copyright in all but a few of the lyrics and the music in many of the lyrics

I have been writing songs "on and off" since1959 until the present. As a songwriter, I write purely for the pleasure it gives me. I have always been pleased with my songs which have been mainly from genres such as folk/blues, rock and roll and general pop (in the style of the sixties). My musical skills are quite limited and the early demos on Soundcloud, prior to two years ago, are of me singing and accompanying myself on guitar or latterly ukulele. I can strum the strings well enough, but there my skills end.

I have also "toyed" with electronic keyboards and briefly with sequencing software (ACID Forge). I should also include harmonica and various percussion instruments, oh and not forgetting the Kazoo - from my years in a ukulele club band.

Recently I discovered Suno AI and the results have astounded me. I could finally produce demos of my songs to be proud of. I am currently going thru my catalogue of songs and producing AI assisted demos. I know many musicians turn away from AI but it has a place for me. There is no other way I could have obtained some 300 demos to this level. I do not and do not intend to look for any reward except the satisfaction that hearing my own songs gives me. I have also remixed/covered some of these early results as new versions of Suno have been released.

I have experimented with the idea of prompting, leading to many covers/versions of songs which have included instrumentals which I had written during my keyboard sessions.

I have also set many of my poems (from self-published pamphlets) to music to further my understanding of how Suno can help with my understanding of how useful the powers of the AI can be used.

I am still writing regularly and hope to have many more years of songs left in me, Enjoy if you can and I would love to hear your comments on the tracks, if the music moves you at all.

Finally, I would like to thank all those friends I have made on Soundcloud for listening to and liking my music, and for their comments and feedback.

Videos of rough demos, "me and my guitar/uke" can be viewed on You Tube: www.youtube.com/@shadfan66
