The process of songwriting is a unique experience for each person who pens a tune, whether as the lyricist, the musical composer, or both. I’ve always loved the title of Jimmy Webb’s book “Tunesmith”. For me, it expresses how we are craftsmen, whether our songs emerge from inspiration or are the result of intention and purpose. I still don’t fully understand the source of inspiration, but I am grateful for each and every visit from the muse. The craft of songwriting is one that I believe can be developed and finely honed, and I’ve had the honor of learning from the very best. I only hope my mentors know how grateful I am for every door they have opened. There is no greater joy than to share the creative process with other artists, regardless of their medium.
