Beautifully spoken. What Chris has that is so rare is a modesty about the process of song writing. We're all, at heart, completely ignorant about where ideas truly come from -- it's a mystery. That patience in waiting for the muse (though he didn't use that term) is what separates the real songwriters from the rest of 'em. Thanks, Chris.
I saw Chris at Shrewsbury this year. he really is the ultimate performer: no ego, guitar in hand and that perfect voice. His songs sing stories of life- that resonate with what its all about
great to hear him discussing the process of writing and building a song prior to recording
anyone who has not seen him get a copy of One More night a great DVD of his perfromance...
Time Stands Still Sessions DVD. Is there or will there be such a thing?
