songwriter val zudell
Keyboardist and Songwriter
I'm primarily a songwriter, A member of BMI for many years. I have a deep love for traditional country music and songs with lyrics that make sense and have beautiful melodies and words that move the emotions. I have been writing since 1986 when I visited Hawaii and fell in love with the beauty of the islands. I came home and wrote my first song which I called "Isle of Endless Summer". The bug bit me very hard and I have been writing ever since. I have had a couple of Indie Record cuts but I'm always looking for more. I hope you'll like my songs.

Lyrics
Country In My Heart When I was just a little kid Like so many mamas did My mama tried to help me get my start She hoped I'd make my wages On the finest concert stages Never dreamin' I had country in my heart Arpegios and theory Just made me bored and weary As I practiced to perfect the classic art I soon gave up the spinet Cause my heart just wasn't in it And blew poor mama's dream for me apart Chorus: I was born for playin' country And I hope she understands The world is next to perfect with a guitar in my hands Don't fret about it mama You always did your part But I can't play concertos When there's country in my heart Bach and Beethoven May keep the cosmos rollin' But country music moves my very soul I love the way the music plays The high sometimes will last for days And playin' country music is my goal The songs are always true to life On subjects even I can write And even if it never hits the chart I've had my satisfaction From this magical reaction Playin' country music from my heart Chorus: I was born for playin' country And I hope she understands The world is next to perfect With a guitar in my hands Don't fret about it mama You always did your part But I can't play concertos When there's country in my heart Tag: No, I can't play concertos When there's country in my heart.
