It was on a mountain top on the Camino de Santiago that I heard a young German rock musician singing a ballad of his own making that sparked my interest in writing songs. The subject of the lyrics of his song was discussed and I casually said I had written a ballad too. He listened to my lyrics and asked if he could record it on his next album. So began my songwriting and to date I have recorded three albums professionally and sold them online as well as privately on my caminoway.com.au/ song page. This book is a detailed account of the meaning behind my creations and the lyrics and melodies. An enhanced version of the book will be available as an audio too.
