Dear Mr. Floyd Jane, Mr. Tommy Adams, Ms. Janice & Mr. 'Bud'...

Listen to me, please, because I am exposing my guts, my heart to you, okay??? You ready for this??? Okay. I wish I was a music agent, publisher, producer, whatever, so that I could shove your CD's in the music industry's pick-pick-picky, wishy-washy, "Oh, well, gee, we really do appreciate your submission, but, uh, um, we only accept songs from established artists'" faces, and tell them, "Here's what you been lookin' for. Here's what your audience needs and wants to hear. Now, what in the blazes are you going to do about it, huh???"

Every time I listen to you folks post your well-written, well-produced songs on this User's Forum, every time I listen to your memorable, oft-times unforgettable music, every time I read your thoughtful, revealing, surprising, emotionally affecting lyrics, every time I hear your voices sing out what's in your souls, I feel as though I've experienced a complete lesson in the mechanics and the art of professional songwriting. I feel like I've been exposed to true emotion, to true feelings.

This song, this One True Thing you've presented to us BIAB users, is just one more example of the care, the committment, and the love of making music for people to listen to, that I believe is always, always present in your songs. There is real poetry in your lyrics, real musical invention and involvement, real meaning in the finished product. I would LOVE to quote lyrical lines in the song that impressed me the most, but I can't, because they're all worth absorbing and thinking about, slowly, and with deliberation.

I'm done.

P.S. Forgot to wish Floyd and Tommy, "Happy Birthday, fellers smile !!!
