Hello, Dennis
I would really be happy to give a short resume for you, and I don't want to sound dreadfully pessimistic, but really it's very hard. I think you have to be in the right place in the right time. And slogging for it is the very hardest way! But I admire your perseverance and can only wish you much luck.
Here - as they say - goes!
"The first half-hour spent with Dennis put my mind at ease regarding his capabilitics as a musician. After I sang a couple of songs for him, he quietly picked up his guitar and began to play and sing for me.
His voice was velvety, rcally articulate (I can't stand singers who sing behind barred teeth) and his first song traditional - or so I thought. When I asked him where he'd collected it from he said he'd written it!
Here, then, is a person who not only sings well but writes good modern songs in a traditional style (a feat seldom mastered).
With his strong/gentle personality he drew my attention into him and he was quite able to captivate me."
