Thread Name: Traditional Influence In Songwriting
Subject: RE: Traditional Influence In Songwriting
Are you thinking, Jerry, that when we get several lines together for a song that seem to fall out fully-formed, both quickly and easily, that we are likely drawing from the "traditional" well?

I've wondered that myself, since I've had that experience of thinking, after I've written something that seems to click, "I think I've heard this before" though I can never remember where or when.
