This book is a collection of original song lyrics written over a period of 30 to 40 years. They were usually scribbled down in haste when inspiration hit and kept in a closet gathering dust. As I continued to get older and realize I wasn't going to live forever I decided to organize the songs into a book form to have something to leave behind. I also noticed that some of the songs were actually pretty good (unbiased opinion). I edited them only minimally, so they still reflect what was going on at the time they were written. I am hopeful they will be enjoyed. PS I do have a few of them on YouTube under "little off key band ".
Brian Elliott was born at a very early age a long time ago. He retired a few years back after forty-five years of "doctoring", specializing in internal medicine and infectious diseases (like Dr. House on the TV show House, MD). He saw and learned a lot during that time, and he would occasionally write stuff down and save it. Eventually he began to add melodies to the words and jiggle things around until-VOILA!-a song would appear. Lately Brian has had lots of free time to spruce the songs up and organize them into a legacy book. But even though it's more for legacy than profit, he would like you to buy it anyway. His new book, A Little Off Key, is dedicated with love to his sons, Erik and Corky.
Readers with questions or interested in the chords accompanying the lyrics, can contact Brian at littleoffkey47@gmail.com.
