I was skeptical when you started all this, not expecting much, but you're actually creating some very nice tunes that are becoming more tonally and rhythmically complex as you go along.  Too bad you didn't get the urge to start doing this when you were about 12, eh?    

Aloha @Uzi,

Well, I started on the piano, but never wrote anything of consequence.  While I was somewhat accomplished (not ready to tour or anything, but not so bad in a band), I didn't concentrate on writing music, just playing it.

There's just something about pickup up my fiddle - I start playing and all of a sudden, the notes just come together.  Thank you for noticing the improvement in my tunes - you'll most likely see a corresponding complexity as I get better.  I'm actually getting better at playing them!  

I have another march nearly ready to submit, that started out in D minor, but was changed to D major.  Some of the intervals don't sound as good in some respects, but it's really coming along nicely.
