Record #3 - Why do this?

Holy moly! I'm not sure how this has happened but I have 8 1/2 songs written for my next record! If I recall, it tends to happen this way every time. I always think "I'll NEVER write enough good songs to make another record." And at some point I look up and there they are...like shining little diamonds in the stream. Re: the half song, I have a verse and a chorus but I'm not sure I'm going to finish it. It may just need to set the mood for the song it will lead into.

Whenever I get bogged down with the business end of music and suffering the beat down that Nashville tends to administer, I forget why I even do this in the first place. Why put out another record? What's the point? THEN I write new songs. And we start getting production ideas about those songs and start day dreaming about whose going to play on this one or sing on that one. My confidence starts to build when I think I've created something good and I want people to HEAR WHAT WE HAVE MADE! Then I think, "Oh yeah, I remember why I do this."
