    In December 2022 Phil awoke from the Covid slump. As he emerged from a hiatus of not writing music for about 4 years, he thought: "What would I like to do before I’m eighty".

    He thought to himself a simple thought - “It would be nice if people could hear my voice”.

    So Phil began writing songs again.

    Over the next 7 months of songwriting, Phil had around 30 ditties and songs that he would send to friends to get feedback on, the following timeline documents what was written and when.
