Some good new posts. They only got to show how foolish it is to characterize all songwriters as writing in one particular way with a common agenda. About the only things in common are the ones that everyone seems to share: write what you feel because you feel like writing, and draw from the well of music you love most.

I liked your typo (I think it was), Nathan. Maybe we should call the songs folks songs. Reminds me of a line in a spoken introduction to Fanning Street by Leadbelly. "They were folks, sure enough."

Good to see you on here, Nathan. I'm not suprised at your comments, knowing your music.
