Thank you very much for your comments Patrick.
Unfortunately I expect mainstream artists would regard this as 'old news'. Then
again I wouldn't have a clue how to contact them. I expect they have an entire
industry filtering out the fan-mail!

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Some friends and I wrote this in 1990 for the
Romanian orphans. We had
hoped to
get it recorded and published but didn't have a clue what we were doing,
so it
never happened.
From time to time the rough tape we did would surface and I'd feel guilty
about
it. A few years ago I went as far and transcribing it and making a basic
recording of the melody. Recently, after much self castigation, I finally
got
down to making a proper recording and singing the song so here it is.
It is not only for those orphans of 20 years ago, but for my friends (who
are
now gone) and for all the children still being abandoned around the world.

Hmm. I don't think 'enjoy' is the right word.
Very powerful lyrics.
Your voice has aspects of Roger Waters and Eric Clapton. Maybe you could
get this track into their hands and they could really take it somewhere?
Thanks for sharing.
