The Craft of Songwriting
Posted in Uncategorized on March 8, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Three things that crossed my consciousness in the last few days have caused me to think about the craft of songwriting, which in my view has deteriorated over the last 50 years or so, with the decline being particularly noticeable of late.

(photos: Ellen Goldstein) It was the bottom of the eighth inning, and AT&T Park was rocking as if it was the world’s largest inflatable jumping playhouse.

Yesterday, I ran the San Francisco Marathon. Well, some of the San Francisco Marathon. Full disclosure: about a third of the San Francisco Marathon.
