Wish I'd Written Tikkun Olam – A

I Played For Anybody And Everybody From The Time I Started Playing Guitar, When I Was 10 Or 11.

I Gave Guitar Lessons. I Tried To Join Bands. My Mom Always Said It Was Obvious That Nothing Was Going To Stop Me.

I Was Interviewed For A Grammy Television Show, And They Asked Me About Nashville, And I Talked For Three Minutes And When I Finished, I Was Teared Up. The Whole Room Was Crying. Nashville Has Given Me A Home, Where I Never Had A Home Before.

I Write A Lot From Instinct. But As You're Writing Out Of Instinct, Once You Reach A Certain Level As A Songwriter, The Craft Is Always There Talking To You In The Back Of Your Head...that Tells You When It's Time To Go To The Chorus, When It's Time To Rhyme. Real Basic Craft... It's Second Nature.

The Money When You're Having A Hit Is Great, But Money Can Be Taken From You. What Can't Be Taken From You Is The Talent And The Effect Your Work Has.
