MAB, I'm sure you had a great evening! I just gotta figure out how to get back there more often. I feel "left out", and it's depressing LOL. So, did Carey Murdock show up?
Now I got another question. First, to set it up, I just finshed a new song. The story line is; V1: My friend died, CH: Here's what we used to do V2 I still think about you, CH, Bridge: I've come back to visit our old place, and CH: Here's what I'm doing. Sound familliar? Should. I modled it after a song that has been on the radio.
So, here's the question, and any personal experience stories woud be great. I know there are hundreds of songs in Nashville all having the same story line, but the question is: Out of all those to choose from, how does that process work? Do the powers that be listen/re-listen to songs with the same story line? Or do they just go back to the one they "fell in love with before"? Or is it who ever gets there first with the "new" (term used loosely) song/lyrics/sound at just the right time when that power just happens to listen and just happens to like the song, regardless of any previous songs he/she might have heard with the same story line?
