This original composition, Paula, was written in 1987 about an actual young lady whom Gary was fond of at the time. He wanted something romantic, so he decided to compose the music in 'waltz' time, using Johann Strauss as inspiration! Gary wrote the music initially in 4/4 regular time, but it didnt flow as well as he wanted. He then changed it to 3/4 waltz time which was ideal!

Meanwhile, Gary described this young lady, Paula, to his friend and lyricist, Terry Harding, explaining that lyrics were needed about the lovely Paula. Terry then came up with the lyrics which Gary reviewed and made some minor alterations. He played the tune to another friend and music writer, Seamus Cullen. Seamus composed the middle and ending segments of music to complete the song!

The song was produced by Terry Ford on 4 track cassette. Gary sang lead vocal and counter melody vocal. Instrumentally, Gary played 6 string acoustic guitar; and keyboards that also incorporate drum sounds.

The track was transferred from cassette, and the final audio edit to CD was done by Garys friend Steve Warren.

Paula was composed by: CULLEN/HARDING/TWITCHETT. Copyright: SCRATCHETT SONGS.

Gary is looking forward to your comments and ratings! Thanks for listening!
