I don't sit down and write a song...it usually starts when I am fooling around with chord progressions or twinkling of strings...and if a tune appears I will scat it or whistle it or baby-language it until a good tune sort of forms...then the lyrics will come line at a time. Usually nothing is formed in the first draft of the fist verse. So, I don't write for myself or an audience initially. Nothing in mind until the song is formed...so, I dunno...I guess it's 50/50 in my case. Stan Having Fun!!!! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/8/stanloh
