Sean
asked, "I was wondering if you
have any comments on the experience of writing for volume this year and how
that may have caused some differences in the way you workup a song for recording?"
Sure has, Sean. Choices have to be made so I'm challenged
to be instinctive. I can talk myself into this by saying, "I can always
change a song if my instincts are wrong, if people's comments change my mind
(it's happened several times) or playing it live doesn't work. I have too
many songs 90% done and then put aside until I have the final "finishing"
moment. Most of the time, that moment never comes. Maybe I just have to let
it go, and this project makes me do that.
Next
week: making recording and production decisions in real time.
