  • I've written a bunch of essays on songwriting/creativity/mythology. I plan to have them all in a proper book someday. Right now i'm just reading them here on youtube for fun and friends. I read all the essays at my annual gathering of songwriters in the West TX desert. "The Crooked Crow Songwriter's Retreat". If you're a songwriter and love the American Southwest you should think about joining us one year.

    "worse than drinking......decafe. 😂
    Love this. I also love your no bs videos. None of all that TH-cam eye candy editing. The only thing that really matters are the words!

    This is so good. My favorite: 'This fear is more dangerous than drinking...........decaf.' 😂

      Thank you Dan! I was proud of that de-cafe joke...lol. I also saw that you covered " One Day". You sound great and it made me happy to hear it. I appreciate it.

    That was so awesome! So relatable and artistically done. Thanks! It is so relieving to hear about all the crazy symptoms people overcome when they realize it is fear and do what is necessary to face it.

      Of course! I listened to some of your music as well. It is really really fucking good. Let's stay in touch, I can tell I could learn a lot from you. Maybe we could do a podcast or something and talk about music and mindbody stuff:)@@jwagnersongs

    That makes a lot of sense! 😅
    But seriously, that's great advice because trying to hold too much control over one's songs is a super sneaky trap.

      Hey Nels... I agree...holding on to tight never lets the beauty in.

    at the FONMPS anonymous meeting last week they told me the first step is admitting you have a problem

      Step eight is the rough one. You have to write an apology letter to all of those you hurt from holding on to FNMPS for so long. See you in Montrose this summer buddy.
