I want to amend the the flippant answer I gave early in this thread that said "Money/Chicks". The whole truth is I know I will probably never recoup the money I have put into writing songs. At 71, the only way I get chicks is if they think I have money! So, what am I in it for? I haven't given up on having more than 1 hit song. I love to write. It amazes me, at least, that I can put words together in a way that tells stories, or touches people. Testimony. I am a Christian, and though I don't preach to people, songs are my way of doing that. And again, applause, whether written, oral, or real applause, it is still the best drug on the market.
