I was told I once gave a singer songwriter "writers block" for about 3 months. In the act of trying to explain, what I felt was pretty remedial, a basic tonic dominant relationship and how if he wanted his material to improve he should "honor" the music by learning more about the mechanics etc. His response was "I just try to feel it man"
My response: "Yeh, that's what I look for in a dentist or a surgeon."
Here's the one that should've been at the top of the pile Phil. (and once again, THANK YOU for taking to time to corral all these VERY entertaining nuggets of wisdom!)
