I like to hear other people's melodies and structures. Jason's book is really just a basic building block for country music, nothing more or less than that.

I will say, however, the formula has worked for many many years. LOL Maybe that's just because how our brains work? ie. tell me the story, tell me the point, continue the story, tell me the point again, give me a juicy change in melody, then tell me the point again. sounds easy, but it's really not.

Of course I'm no Taylor Swift or Freddy Mercury.................(damn, can't believe I put those two in the same sentence) but it is, what it is.

I'm a Carly Simon fan myself.....James Taylor, Cat Stevens... I know, I'm old.. LOL

Jason is a JPF Mentor. He used to come on here and would likely come back if we didn't have a bunch of whiners and complainers fighting each other post after post. Several others have talked to me about coming back,m but I have told them all to hold off until the board is updated. I am trying to get the site updated but hit multiple snags. Once we get it up and running we will start bring people back in. No new people have been able to join for 4 years unless I manually enter them. We get about 200 attempts a week to join. I suspect even 20-30 new people here and we will be able to isolate the problems from each other and proceed. It is clear several WANT to be banned, so maybe they will finally get their wish. But one thing at a time.
