I hope I didn't sound like I was picking on you, Bob. I didn't mean to. I'm not sure where this perception of disdain comes from exactly. Maybe I am being over-sensitive.
I have been thinking a lot about writing music. I seem to be able to do the music part, but words have generally eluded me. Maybe I haven't tried hard enough to find them. Also, I realize I am very shy about sharing my own bits and pieces of songs without words - so much so that I have burst into tears on more than one occasion trying to sing them for someone. It is so much easier to sing other people's songs than to dig into my soul for my own songs (there's the fear that I won't find anything) or to bear my soul by singing the bits and pieces I do have for other people. Anyway, thank you for your reassurance and compliments about my playing/singing. It's comforting to know that you appreciate what I do.

But I think there's a value in them all! When I hear your beautiful singing & playing, I hear your intense & sincere love of Joni's singing and guitar styling that shines through every time! >>
