I don't need to hear Bill to go through a song. I need to hear Keith to go through a song. I know Bill will be playing what I'm playing anyway. I need to hear Keith because it's all there: the time, the chord changes, and all the licks you have to follow. ↗

It was kind of like songwriter's boot camp. You had to produce. You had to produce fast. You had to learn. ↗

On the other hand when you are someone who records their own songs you are basically stuck writing for one voice and for one style that can stifle you a bit. It's a real trade off. ↗

Writing the songs and producing the songs and arranging them and recording them is your canvas and your palette and your brush. ↗

Great classic music that I've been turned on to has not only inspired and influenced me, but it has had an effect on my songwriting. ↗
