It's a good thought, Austin, welcome.

Some writers write with a "vision" of the song. They know where the trombone is going to fill. Other writers sort of let the song take them where it will. And others still, will write many versions of the same song. Each technique can produce good songs and each technique can produce songs that don't quite make it.

As a technical musician, I have spent a lot of time learning music theory, analyzing genres, and developing skill. But, thanks to some older musicians who beat it into my skull, I've tried to focus on just making the darn thing sound good.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash

It's only music.
