This thread is for those of us with nothing better to do than sit at our computers in the middle of the night looking for some way to pass the time when everyone else is in bed!!

The only rules here are....

1.) To Be Polite to Each other
2.) Have a Good Time
3.) Make new friends
4.) No Politics or Religion..( always causes an argument)

So let me start by introducing myself....

I'm David Allen Slater aka dasmusic and I am a professional singer/songwriter/performer/complete insomniac with an all round nutty sense of humor!!

I come here often to sing a song as we all do and make new friends and have some good conversation along with a few laughs.

But I also find that a lot of the time when I am up...no one else seems to be active in the forum topics that I frequent. For this reason I am starting this thread for all the people out there in the same boat as I am.

I don't mind if occasionally you want to promote a song in here but JRAS already has a fantastic thread for that in the promotions section and I suggest that you use it if you don't know about it. TitaPro started it and it has grown into a massive thread and expanded out into two separate ones. One is just for posting songs and one is for the same but with more chatting, fun and interaction between members. The larger one being the latter of the two above.

So with that being said welcome to Insomniacs and Night Owls and let's have some fun and keep each other company....

Peace,
DAS

I'm usually up till the wee hours of the morning and quite verbose on these threads at night...I'm actually tired tonight surprisingly,,,,lol

But your songs...terrific.

I actually have clinical insomnia, so it gets rough...but meeting other night owls is a comfort.

Amen to that...I go from one extreme to the other...but with songwriting the good ones always come in the middle of the night. But that is also when everyone is asleep and there is not many to talk to....I thought it would be good to stir things up a little tonight

Well I think I've been writing ever since I was around 12 or 13....but it got way easier and my songs got more mature after having a lot more life experience to draw on. I've played guitar for 33 years now but it took time to find my voice and then be able to use it in public

Well I'm not actually an insomniac....... just usually awake in the middle of the night (after several hours sleep) ;)

.....so wasn't sure if I belonged in this thread..

I've already had the pleasure of meeting or seeing most of you around the boards.....and listening to your song a few days ago David.

Pleased to see you all again, now I might try to go get more sleep...... zzzzzzzzz

I've been a night owl for as long as I can remember. When I was in high school my dad nicknamed me Dracula, and my parents tell me I was same even as a baby.
I love it, I love the quiet serenity of the night.

I'm going to sign off here soon, and play a little bit of dominoes on Yahoo before I go to sleep. It's 12:18 AM but really 1:18 for my system (due to day light savings time).......Helen
