Good observation, Joe.

I had the chance to co-write a song with Jeri last summer. She was great to work with, and a real joy to be around. As an incidental thing, her latest (I think it's her latest) is wonderful. I haven't heard the melody yet, but if the lyrics are anything to go by, she's written a real winner.

Anyway, we kinda stumbled around at first tryin' to get into a groove. After we found that, the rest went fairly quickly. I think the most difficult part is finding that groove and also finding the will to 'let go' of things. Folks who write together have to give each other 'creative' space. We were able to do that. Jeri should be an ambassador to some really tough posting. Her people skills are phenomenal. Hell, we worked on it for two days and the testament to her patience and fortitude is that I'm still alive.
