SWIM : someone was impersonating mom Glad you're thinking about doing some recording Hips!
No. I just got off the phone with her this morning. They're all the way retired now, not working part time or anything. She can get back into writing country songs and reworking, getting real recordings of her old stuff she has in boxes on hand written staff paper and cassette tapes.
My "writing" is sing/scat it into the phone, then throw a rock and hit somebody with recording gear.
Although yes, we'd both have the same program to work from and send stuff back and forth. She's the lyricist/idea person. I play the instruments (except drums).
