Hey Vikki!

My point? Someone was asking what qualified people like Jason Blume to give feedback/education to aspiring songwriters. It looks like you honed in on my one sentence disclaimer that some folks might not like his songs. :-)

So I shared what I know about Blume; I personally have a great deal of respect for what he does and he is very articulate. What he really does great is showing his own thought process; people who listen closely can learn how to think for themselves.

Btw, Lyle seems to have read something into my words that I didn't think I expressed. But I do agree a bit. Every songwriter has a greater chance for success if they are up to the challenge of also being an artist; if no one else is going to cut/sell your songs, why shouldn't you?

Cheers!!
