"i WANNA TELL YOU A STORY", I drove my eldest son and friends back from a sunday school meeting when he was abot 8 yrs old (1979). On the was home, they were excitedly talking about a Childrens TV cartoon from the Previous evening. Amazing what imagination kids of that age have. Anyway, I made a note of the conversation, when I was back home. Of course, I added a few interesting "facts" and wrote a song on my guitar.

For the last 45 years this song has stayed hidden (like most of my many songs. But now I have Suno AI to help me produce a demo and make it available to the general public. Briefly, after much experimentation with prompts in Suno, which I believe has taught me a lot about the software, I am now uploading a sample to Suno of me singing one verse and a chorus/bridge, etc lasting about 60 secs which is the maximum length allowed - at the moment. The AI is able to generate a song (or rather two of them) with my voice providing the lead vocals and the tune I originally wrote when I wrote the lyics. Of course, the AI develops the tune in sometimes unexpected ways. However, I am able to specify a genre/style and structure, etc, for the song; which are sometimes taken note of by the AI. BUT essentially THE SONG, LYRICS AND MELODY ARE BASED ON MY ORIGINAL WORK. I believe that I can claim more responsibility for this song than someone working with a massive team of co-writers and a studio full of session men ,engineers and producers, etc.

Of course under Suno TOS, I am claiming Copyright of the song and recording until, and when, the legal situation is clarified by the courts.
