Uuuh - you all need to be real careful of that "best song is the one I wrote today" syndrome... I do appreciate the thought behind the statement, it's a good bit of encouragement to keep on writing and producing new music, but in my experience, it is oh so worthwhile to stand back from newly written and newly recorded pieces, to give them a chance to filter into your consciousness, to give that enthusiasm a chance to cool down, in order that the often rose-tinted lenses of newness be replaced by the clear lens of objectivity! Especially if you want to create art that will stand the test of time....

songwriting has always been a collection of verses, that were written on napkins and grocery sacks and on scraps of any thing that could hold a line or two,,,, then after time passed some of these verses would seem to fit a pattern and grow together with the music falling from the guitar as notes like the drops of rain,,,, and the song was then born,,, sometimes the song was a continuum , sometimes the song said goodbye,,,, i had to say goodbye to my little friend the other day,,,, she has gone home to romania,, to her family ,,, i will never be seeing her again ,, regretfully thats life...i can only hope that we can share a few letters before time fades the feeling and we forget about the love that we shared for too short a time...
