Songwriting is a combination of many variables as well Gregory..millions of them!..we all have differing opinions on what constitutes a good songwriter..iam with you on the "live and let live" outlook,and good luck to Mr Blume,obviously he has a passion for the business end and craft of songwriting,and his willingness to share his experiences has to be applauded.But songwriting and songwriters cannot be pidgeon-holed,there are no hard and fast rules in songwriting,guidelines perhaps,but to me songwriting is like trying to catch a rainbow..you can see it but you can't touch it..but yes at the end of the day we are all in this together, and tho we may have differing opinions,there is a lot of wisdom and experience on these boards with a few "characters" thrown in, and that is what separates JPF from all the other songwriting sites on the net,and long may it continue.........Terry...
