Hi. My name is Douglas Murphy and I hale from Montreal Quebec Canada.
I have been playing around this 'craft' for a while now and have always enjoyed getting my 'stuff' out there.
Lately I have been playing around with AI generated vocals and melodies. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer.

Lyrics
Man-In-The-Moon
(07/02/01)
Intro:
[A]
Went for a short walk my youngest and I.
Down at the park near our home.
We had to stop, look, and spy,
each path we had to roam.
[A]
A flat rock was a prize, keepsake it seemed,
a treasure like a balloon.
We saw a snail, kids with a pail
and I saw the man-in-the-moon.
[A]
With my little one riding my shoulders.
Her world came to me through her eyes.
Birds in the trees, quick buzzin' bees,
fluffy white clouds in the sky.
[B]
It seems that I might have forgotten.
Been stuck in my man-made cocoon.
'Cause I saw a cat, tykes with ball and bat
and I saw the man-in-the-moon.
Break:
[A]
Our short walk was one of our longest.
Time spent stopping to peek.
Squirrels racing 'round in the treetops,
joining us in hide-and-go-seek.
[A]
A tree brought a stop to our game of tag,
this one housed a raccoon.
Saw more "icky" bugs, received a bear hug
and saw the man-in-the-moon.
[A]
It seems that I might have forgotten.
Been stuck in my man-made cocoon.
'Cause I saw a cat, some early rising bats
and I saw the man-in-the-moon.
[Tag]
With my little one there on my shoulders
I share all her wonders and surprise.
Maybe I've gotten older, but she reopens
the world through her eyes.
