Thread Name: Old v. New - familiar v. unpredictable
Subject: RE: Old v. New - familiar v. unpredictable
I'm mostly an "introspective singer/songwriter with pubish leanings"

And I need new... all the time...

If it doesn't change or grow, it stagnates and dies...

I'm always on the lookout for new CDs, or new mp3s... or new versions of songs I already know... If I like it at least as much as the old version, I'll keep 'em both... If I don't like it, I'll dump it...

My solo show is in a constant state of 'tweakeage'... adding new songs, dropping old songs... revisiting REALLY old songs... Keeps me from getting bored with the material... just how many times can you sing "Whiskey in the god-damned frigg'n Jar" without getting terminally bored with it...

I equate new songs and such with learning... and ya gotta keep learning...
