My relationship with Music Row has always been, from my end, optimistic and hopeful that there is more than one way to approach the writing, recording, and marketing of an album. ↗

The challenge of screenwriting is to say much in little and then take half of that little out and still preserve an effect of leisure and natural movement. ↗
