hi to all and welcome to Griffo's world,

well it was late 2005 i was 42yrs old just moved out of the family home to rent a house with my youngest son and my eldest daughter due to marrige probs. wasn't quite sure where my life was going at that point all i knew was everything seemed to be turning to shit.i had a guitar i always kept but never took the time to lurn to play and a million thoughts running around in my head.then for some reason i just got up one morning and said to myself....fuck it....im going to teach myself to play and sing on that thing.man did i suck.....and a lot of my friends let me know....but before long i found myself slowly understanding the way music can be if you give it time....i love mistakes ...they help me keep things real......i started a band called stillworkin and within a year we were playing on stage at the local club and jammin with the locals best we could.i have about thirty songs to date and more to come ill put them all up on this site in time when i clean them up a bit.....i hope you can relate to what i have writtin in my songs .  my best advise to anyone wanting to write songs is if you have something to say put pen to paper be carefull you dont get off track by negative imput from people that dont get you.if you write it down as you feel it it will still be there tomorrow and it wont be just a thought you will have bought that though to life forever.....keep writting.....and keep dreaming.........good luck to all that muse....................griffo.......(ps)...some writters may not agree with this but when i write i sometimes like to spell the words the way i feel the song its not just because im a bad speller.....so if you feel the need to drop the.. g ..off of ..ing ...at times or use the word gota ....getta....or...shit like that..if it feels good do it...........stay normal...............feel free to add me as a friend and leave a comment.......
