Sobs and Smirks - Brigitte Van Gerven

After a lifetime (or so it feels) of playing music on piano, guitar (acoustic and electric), violin, accordion, and singing the occasional folk song ... in the year 2022 I finally decided to enroll in a songwriting class and start to create music myself.

Music is a language, and for a long time I only listened to that language and performed music written by others. You do learn the language in a sense, but it is strange that there is such a hard dividing line between listening and speaking that language, although they are two sides of the same coin.

These are the products of my songwriting efforts. I hope you enjoy them. Feedback is appreciated.
