Kevin, you make some very valid points, you have a great approach to your writing - I see this in your posts like your Civil War song. The point I was trying to make was that simple is OK too, sometimes it fits the mood. And after that first burst of spontaneity then begins the spit and polish. I always have words and phrases left over at the end of a song.

By the way Kevin, I stand rebuked for my cuppa Earl Grey comment – it was a bad joke at the wrong time – apologies. Sorry if it seemed to single you out. We’re really here just trying to lend a hand. Serves me right for writing more than four lines.
