Thread Name: Michael Marra - thoughts on song writing
Subject: RE: Michael Marra - thoughts on song writing
I share the views of Steven. Michael is a genius. I regard him as a wordsmith supreme. Lines like 'MrEwan you have been my ruin' ooze pure class and are a joy to sing. His use of words convey an imagry that I believe is unsurpassed. I was speaking to John Tams at Shrewsbury Folk Festival and John told me that James Taylor is a fan saying 'why have I not heard of this man before'
