Now that I see my previous post on the forum I realize I may have sounded more angry about local songwriters then I mean to. In truth I have heard many many gifted writers, with varying performance abilities - so many with good things to offer. But I have seen a new snobbery slip in among that crowd that I find useless - who am I kidding, it makes my blood boil - that is that, "so-and-so is a good singer singer but she/he just can't write songs." That attitude usually comes from the least gifted of the writers, it seems to me, as well. Hence my disdain for the misuse of the term 'cover song.' Does that makes sense?
