Dear Eric: I’m a 75-year-old amateur songwriter who enjoys recording what I write. I’m also a widower going on three years. When my wife of 42 years was alive, I wrote songs for and about her and us. I’d record them at home and send the recordings to our boys and in-laws who always responded positively. I received great joy in sharing my love for my wife and my musical talent. Now I have a live-in girlfriend whom my boys and family all embrace.
