Recently, I forced myself to at least add a bridge to break up the monotony. Mike does anything but stay in a groove. I personally think Mike's a genius. I'm not even capable of playing. Toss in a cello and violin, and you've got a wedding tune.
Songwriters are a special breed.
I've noticed many manic depressives in our midst. I think much of our need to create simply starts as a way to understand what the heck just happened to us. It also lets me chronicle what I'd like to experience. These aren't the days of Elvis when artists sought material rather than write it themselves. I consider them to be exceptional talent, true Divas, but I'm more impressed with Cheryl Crow's ability to create everything.
