Albert  Elliot (Ainsley)

Picture
Albert Elliot (Ainsley) 
I have had an interest in music (jazz, classical, folk, pop…) and songwriting all my adult life, some sixty years or so. I also play a little on the guitar and piano and use these instruments on which to compose. I derive particular pleasure from trying to create attractive melodies that have interesting harmonic sequences, and try to steer away from the hackneyed ‘three chord trick’ sort of progression, although I do like simple blues, ballads, and standards of the Great American Songbook.  I also enjoy collaboration with other writers and musicians.
 
I have an active interest in writing and poetry and this has been a great help to me in putting together suitable lyrics to match/complement the tunes I create.  My songs and ballads range from light humorous to more sombre, serious pieces, many of which have a Carpe diem theme, perhaps influenced by my fondness for the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam and the poems of A E Housman, for instance.  I believe that music is one of life’s joys and should be shared and available to everyone, especially the young.
