I've certainly had the songwriter thoughts about why do I do this countless times. It's like an addiction. Because it is not easy. To do it well. But I've been on another turbo songwriting spree for a few weeks now and it's been mind-blowing. I love the songs I have written and some of them brought me to tears several times during the writing. Powerful stuff, songwriting is.

I've got tons of recordings, too. Including on my current cellphone! I record rough ideas and takes often. But I have to, else I forget a lot of it because I keep writing new stuff.

I salute you, Mac, and wish you great luck with beating your illness.
