Hey...great thoughts here all around....I agree with a lot that has been said here..some very valid points expressed and Marc you have the pulse on the market now so I listen close to what you offer...I have a very interesting muse..who at first thought I was crazy (most of all cause I write country)and brought up the perfect rhyme issue and much more...although she is not a songwriter/musician she has a fair understanding of songwriting which I am learning to pay more attention to...and not because she is my fiance or anything...lol...but she was married to a fairly well known musician that was pretty popular in the 60's...for some of you older guys he founded a group in San Francisco called "Moby Grape" and then went on to play with the Jefferson Airplane (guitar/drums)later on...his name was Skip Spence...at least I get an understanding woman who both understands and accepts the wonderful insanity of songwriting.....Larry
