Hitmaker? .. Well, I write songs and used to make my brother hit me, so yeah... Technically accurate. And besides, when I penned this - during a time when relationships still seemed possible - I scratched, at the top of the page, the word "HIT"... The framework's there, if not my singing... So first come, first Grammy. Operators are standing by. :)

“Just Pick Up The Phone” (*copy-written; rights reserved)

Hello angel girl, I know it's kinda late,
but I poured myself a drink, started thinkin 'bout my fate
Wondrin where you are, wondrin’ where you'll be,
within a hundred miles, or somewhere overseas

*Just pick up the phone, just give me a call
We don't have to talk long, we don't have to talk at all
I just want to say I'm sorry, for the things that I did
You know I really loved you, but I didn't want the kid

You were lightin up my life, teaching me things,
I'd never been around -- what a magic scene
I can still hear your voice, I can still see your smile
Some things'll never change, never go out of style

*Repeat chorus

When you're 20 years old, you're just lookin for some fun
When hit the big 3-0, you start lookin for the one
When 40 comes around, so much sooner than you think
Well, you sorta start to panic, and you pour yourself a drink

*Repeat chorus x two... Different chords

*Just pick up the phone, just give me a call
We don't have to talk long, we don't have to talk at all
I just want to say I'm sorry, for the things that I did
You know I really loved you, but I didn't want the kid

No, I didn’t want the kid... No, I didn’t want the kid... No, I didn’t want the kid
