Hey MAB, I was curious about the newer clients you have been working with recently. If your first challenge was to undo the influences from music of their past and mostely writing on their own. Whether they leaned towards negative, angry chick/male type songs; or maybe trying to write Bro Country or Talyor Swift sounding songs.
I know when I began to work with you several years ago my biggest problem was writing dated lyrics and sounding too much like the older traditional country style I had grown up with. I remember well the Saturday afternoon you made me watch CMT video's and suggested I do that at home as well to get a better feel for modern country. I admit I didn't work at it hard enough and I never really got the feel of it totally. That is the biggest reason the last several songs I have co-written with you, I allowed you to help with the lyrics and come up with the melody. You are so much better at that than I will ever be.
Hey also; I spoke with Philboy (PhilG) the other day and he told me someone was going to remodel the old Broken Spoke and get it opened again. Maybe Philboy will come on and elaborate.

Oh!!! Fast Eddie, I didn't mean to suggest SongRamp was going to shut down anytime soon. I was just commenting on how slow some of the Threads had become. I sure hope folks come back on and make it what it once was.
