It's extraordinarily illuminating to be able to hear a few tracks while stydying the songwriter's face. I get a fuller measure of (in your case) the man, and by extension, (his) craft. A lot of people here will nit-pick your songs, and that's fine. Listen to me...if all songwriters bore their soul in the strains of their singing as you, there would hardly be a need for websites like these. Your songs flow with a passion unrivaled on this website. There are different writers here who write in their way maybe as well, but none better. You are fully using the blessings God has entrusted you with, and your songs are deeply affective--as well as effective. I am emotionally moved as I listen. You do not merely get through the song; you become your songs, and they reflect you. As I studied your picture, I saw a man whose life experiences were so remarkable that you will not ever write your definitive masterpiece to explain where you've been. No...for you it might take twenty albums, fifteen slices at a time to get close, and even then you will not cross your own mark of perfection...meanwhile, you might well leave every other songwriter in the dust as you plot along. I am in awe of your talent, and offer up my highest kudo to you. For me, it's a sort of nirvana; I can only imagine how it must be for you.

All My Best
