Hi again, Tricia.

I agree with you and Marty. I have never understood why a man thinks he shouldn't write from a woman's point of view and a woman from a man's point of view. I do it quite often. I'm sure that most of the lyricists/songwriters here at JPF are aware that many of the big hits that the female stars have had over the years were written by male authors. The numbers on that royalty check do not change, based upon the gender of the writer! The great Harlan Howard wrote nearly as many songs for the ladies as he did for the male stars. And he is one of the most revered songwriters in country music history. Too bad he's gone.

Just wanted to add my nickel's worth.
