VALENTINE<\/p>\n
singer songwriter producer<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Valentine created his first songs when a boy<\/b> strolling the fields and dirt roads that ran through his family farm near the Blue Ridge mountains and the Shenandoah River in Virginia. In his teens he wrote classical poetry whose set meters and rhyme schemes later perfectly suited the lyrics he wrote for his rhythmic melodies. In his 20\u2019s he created his most musically sophisticated songs, jazzy showtunes with radical chord inversions and flat keys in the aeolian mode, and mature lyrics to match. In his 30\u2019s and 40\u2019s he wrote songs predominantly for his movies and screenplays. In his 50\u2019s he wrote his 50 song Nashville library of country pop, country rock and ballads employing chord inversions that made it difficult even for Nashville’s best sessions players to keep up with. Some of the songs are political and have music videos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"VALENTINE singer songwriter producer Valentine created his first songs when a boy strolling the fields and dirt roads that ran through his family farm near the Blue Ridge mountains and the Shenandoah River in Virginia.
