Default Re: album with letters and picture

I hope some people find this interesting , I will give another paragraph from the letter titled bio .
Gordon speaking about writing songs , I quote , " When I work the melody out, I write it down immediately and then I start thinking about words.I usually start with a combination of melody and words and just sort of mumble along with the tune. Often I don't really know what the song is about until I've done maybe two or three verses. I just string words together and when I feel a point of view emerging, I'll pursue it. " Early Morning Rain " for example, started out as Early Morning Train. It just didn't work that way. After I get going, I often find that I can start right in on another one, when I get my mind working in the right direction. I think I once wrote four songs in one day. It's usually two or three , but one day I wrote four."
Someone has probably heard this interview , I find it interesting . Dale
