Sorry, Rockhen. And to you, too, Susanne. Just the AH part of me that has to escape now and then.

I think that some songs--example of Mitchell's "Clouds" comes to mind--are patently 'female'. I don't know that many men could have reached that part of the 'self' back in those days. Today, however, it might be different. I know that one song I wrote is sung both by a few guys and a few gals. It's a love song of sorts. In that instance it works from either 'perspective'. The thread is a good one because it does ask a real humdinger of a question. I'd be interested in hearing more from folks. And I promise to behave.
