Dan...thanks for the insight. I love hearing how other people write and their inspirations. It's kind of a mystical process, especially when you hit the sweet spot and the words just seem to pour out like they were already written and you're just copying them down. Personally I'd like to "channel" Harlan Howard!

As for take downs if you ever hear something of mine you'd like to do let me know or just download the lyrics and do your own version. I was wondering why we don't do more of that. I did a cover of "Take It All Out On You" and needed some nice steel. So I emailed an MP3 of the song to another buddy with a studio who is a great steel player. He sent me back FOUR steel tracks and let me pick and choose what I wanted in the song. So cool. it worked great. Now the funny part is he lives on the other side of town, only about 15 minutes away. Haha! Basically you could create a song with input from folks all over the world. Ain't technology great?
