I think our music means a lot less if there isn't some thinking behind it. All this stuff we're talking about in this thread is important as a foundation for our music, so I certainly think it's appropriate to discuss it here. I know I haven't won Catspaw over to my point of what works and what doesn't work in the forum. Poor Catspaw was completely befuddled by the Today thread, where a discussion of a syrupy song evolved into a discussion on how to compromise one's musical values in attempts to attract the opposite sex.
Anyhow, I think this thread is interesting and fun. Isn't that what we're here for?

bbc, I'm not what Catholics would consider to be "traditional." I'm proud to say there are some who would label me a "dissident," but I consider myself to be be just as Catholic as our stodgy old pope is.
