>>this whole thread about borrowing reminds me of the idea that the best art is based on what has come before it and that nothing is totally original but just a reworking<<
i so agree, which is why they say if you want to write, read a lot, this is essential for songwriting too, reading & listening to other authors & songwriters...i've borrowed a bit from others, most often its unconciously...& certainly there is nothing like learning some songs by other writers to get inspired by new musical ideas... ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ********************************************
