Nobody but me could make hide nor hair of my abbreviations, Mike.

Sometimes even I stare at 'em and think, "What the #!$% does THAT mean?"

I don't believe in taking many notes, nor writing down lyrics or chords much anymore when songwriting.

Learned from a past master of songwriting that if you don't remember it then it likely wasn't worth remembering in the first place.

Put another way, "if you have to write it down in order to remember it, then it likely stinks."

At least, that's the way the late great Rich Mullins put it.

He never wrote any of his song lyrics down, always after the recordings were done he'd have to get a big Pepsi and sit with the studio secretary and dictate the libretto for the covers. And what libretto it was.

"if its good, you'll remember it."
