Summary
How the contributor composes songs.
The contributor explains how he creates songs. He does not keep any livestock now and when he is not busy he goes for a walk around his home. Words arrive and he writes some down. He can read Gaelic but he does not write it well. He gets the tunes for the songs first. He uses tunes from old Gaelic songs, from the cèilidh houses. They used to dance to them. They liked the songs of Màiri Mhòr and Neil MacLeod, and local bards.
