I've always had respect for Mr. Taylor and not only because of his songwriting abilities, but also love the kind of musicians he surrounds himself with, their knowledge and abilities, from which he can easily keep pace, but also I think he has the ability to FEED off of their inputs as well, both musically and lyrically.

"There's always room for the BEST."


That "pursuit of excellence" thang.


"Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone..."


Classic use of the "when" opening line.


Songwriters should practice the same old school journalism mantra of, "Who, What, Why, Where and When" - the hard part is knowing which one to put where IMO.


Tell yer story.
