Welcome Boys

Introduction

On the 29th Of April 2024, these two boys came into the world:

James David Ramsdale

Twin 1 - 5:05am - 5lb3oz

Henry Peter Ramsdale

Twin 2 - 5:08am - 6lb4oz

Their dad is David and their mum is Gemma, my niece, and that makes me a Great Uncle, but sure Gemma will tell you I have always been a great Uncle.

This is a sonnet to welcome the Boys

I created an AI song with the lyrics, it cuts off abruptly but gets all the words in

Welcome Boys

Addendum

I don't know if this will be allowed but I am going to expand this and enter it into the Vocal Harmonic Verses Challenge. As you can see it is a tribute to my two great nephews and their parents, but needs to be expanded to five hundred words and moved to the Beat community. Thank God that Vocal allows us to easily do that now.

I get to see them on my monthly visits back to Preston,

Genna's dad,Peter, died of cancer, so never got to see his grandsons, but my sister, Yvonne, loves them to bits and is always having fun with them. Gemma is running the Manchester Marathon to raise money for Cancer Research so if you want to help, her Just Giving page is here:

I think my sonnet tells a story of how I am sure their lives will develop because David and Gemma do a lot of hill walking. I know the boys will no doubt become great hill walkers too.

At some point the Wainwrights will be on their map and that reminds me of a book I bought just because of the title when I saw it in Settle called "There Is No Map In Hell" about an amazing hill walker, Steve Burkinshaw, who works in Newcastle.

This was the first time I used SUNO AI to generate a song and was scarily impressed by the results. I share some of my work on my YouTube channel but I don't think I could approach what SUNO does.

This is me trying to sing "Song Of The Siren" so you know what I sound like:

Thank you for reading and you have to listen to that poem.
