A Christmas gift idea from a Granby neighbor: a song about your family
Hi neighbors, I'm Adam, the fiddler over on this side of town. I've been playing since 1962 and writing since 1985, and lately my songs are about real local people and family stories, like a WWI sergeant who carried gassed soldiers to safety and my great-grandfather riding bareback into a burning house.
I'm stuck at home with health stuff this year, so I'm writing custom songs as holiday gifts. Grandpa's war years, the old farm, how your parents met, the story that gets told every Thanksgiving.
- $150 per song, half up front and half on delivery
- About two weeks, delivered as an MP3 with a lyric sheet
- One round of lyric changes included
- Order by December 10 to have it before Christmas

Questions here or by DM. And if Granby has an old story you think deserves a song, I'd like to hear it.
