I started life as an artist. Moving pencils and paint around came very easy and naturally. Then I picked up a guitar, WOW! What a palette of colors that opened up to declare their superiority. The pencil lines were still there, the mixing of paint, the joy of watching different shades collide was not lost. It all came together in a song. 

As an artist it’s an exhilarating rush to create a piece of work that someone desires to hang on their wall.  But there it is, hanging. It’s done, complete.  Sure, people see it and enjoy it, but you are not part of it anymore.  Music is different.  As a songwriter, you get to paint the same painting over and over again. Repeat the experience… relive the creation of the art. 

The song… It’s the ultimate art piece.
