Who's Your Muse?
I'm back at the beach on Amelia Island where I first started to write lyrics and tunes for this CD. I think most of it was written here with the rhythmic sound of the surf permeating me. Proof positive that Jimmy Buffett and I do not hear the same things.Venice has also been a fertile ground for writing. Most of this stuff was at least finished there and nearly all of the yet unpublished and unfinished work is being done there. I can't leave out Rhinebeck where The Part That Doesn't was wholly conceived. But it was on that same leather love seat where I also completely wrote Jacob's Hurricane in one sitting as Charlie ripped up the towns just south of where I sat in Venice. I have to write more on that love seat. The lyrics to First Time Home, though, were done in one sitting in my friend Ed Haas's Rhinebeck living room on the weekend of my daughter Bree's wedding.
Stargazer, the lyric Kathy Feeney wrote for me, is a beach inspired tune. The one we are working on now she claims came to her while brushing her teeth. Her mouthwash may have to get a partial writing credit. French roast coffee, in all fairness then, would have to take credit for the bulk of my work. If I write anything today, it may well be related to my struggle to avoid Thanksgiving fat. Who knows, it may be a sequel to John Mellencamp's Hurt So Good.
