Thanks Kevin,

Yeah! I'm submitting this to Scot Crandal who recorded a couple of my lyrics last year. And he's interested in doing a more pop kinda album. he has near operatic quality in his vocal work and you can google some of the church music he's recorded on i-tunes, so I know he can handle the chorus and I told him to make it his own if he wants to change it around. He composes on piano and has a jazz/classical kind of style so that could be interesting if it comes about.

Ha ha! "Tons of promise here' - that's another one you can put on my tombstone.

As to whether the 'preacher' stays or goes - really depends on if Scot wants to work on the song and how he likes the lyric. But one grain of insight on that is often (not always) the things people dislike most in a song lyric are the things that are the strongest. The reason is that if the lyric is saying some thing, then people will react one way or another, of course it's easy to go too far or just say things that are distasteful, but the best songs usually have some unusual elements in them, lyrically or musically. -says guru Pete.
