Accidentally stumbled upon this site. Pleasantly surprised by Ron's performance of his original songs. This is the kind of heartfelt music that is sadly missing from our culture today. His lyrics are tight and thoughtful. I am an 89 year old singer/songwriter whose vocal cords have failed me, so I can no longer perform even for myself. But I still am able to play my guitar every day and that does give me joy. I'm glad to see others like Ron who are still able to share with music the wisdom which they've gathered from years of living. My contribution was in the form of children's songs which I wrote, performed, and released in three albums.
