I’m not "faking" anything. I’m a 70-year-old songwriter who never gave up, and now technology caught up enough to let my music shine. That's worth celebrating, not apologizing for. I get it—it's new tech, and it sounds almost too good. But I've been writing these kinds of songs since the '70s. This just finally makes them sound professional without needing a big studio budget. No, that's not me literally playing or singing—it's AI-generated using a tool called Suno. But the song is 100% mine: I wrote the lyrics, the structure, guided the style, and iterated until it matched what I've been hearing in my head for years. After 50 years of struggling to get recordings to sound even halfway decent, this finally lets my songs sound like they deserve to. I'm thrilled I can share them properly now. "The voice and instruments are AI, but the song—the words and music ideas—are all me. It's a new tool that's letting me finish songs the way I've always wanted."
