Thanks, Dan, for your wonderful comments! Your words are encouraging! Working with Ron is easy, he has a treasure trove of lyrical ideas that I find easy to apply a melody to! It's humbling to me to work with him knowing some of the high-profile artists and writers he has worked with. This song was probably about a 50/50 split with the lyrics. T
