The Kensson Songbook
I've been writing songs since I was about thirteen. The only piece of discouragement I've ever received from my parents was when they said I wasn't dextrous enough to play the guitar. I mean, I'm not dextrous enough to play the guitar well, so I'll give them a pass for that.
Many of my songs have been lost -- either accidentally or deliberately. If there's one you know of that should be here, I'd love to hear about it.
