Did you ever collaborate with anybody we might know? Bruce?
Lol, not even Bob Dylan has collabed with Bruce..he has done it bit not often

I don't like collabing. I did it many years ago, but its always somebody like yiu, weak lyrics, weak melodies.

I have collabed with Mark Kaufmann here, Mark was a really good artist that used to frequent here.

But I dint see that as a measuring stick, it really just means you dont feel confident in some part of the process.

I know I do lyric and melody, well, I do singer songwriter pretty well im not a really good guitar player any more. But im good enough to accompany myself.

Im a bad piano player, a decent bass player, decent drummer, great air drummer.neber a good engineer

I do collabs best when a track is presented and I write over it, I think i did simethijg like that with Mike Caro here, which he really liked.

Bottom line is I know where I stand. If something ends up not being good, it usually disappears. I guarantee I have more partial sings, scrapped sings and never really started songs, than anyone here combined.

And the only time I have compared myself to anyone is 9n these fackin forums, because it becomes something beyond the music.

Im not better than millions of other musician's, writers, singers.

So its certainly not a competition.

But craft is something knowable and judgeable. What we like or domt is something different.

Enough of this non sense
