I really enjoyed your insight into an artist's passion for his music to carry him to the end, and be heard long after his departure from the here and now. In the words of Billy Joe Shaver's Live Forever; "Just Like the Songs I Leave Behind Me, I'm Gonna' Live Forever Now." I'v'e written many songs that I have never had the ability to record, but from the feedback I get from playing them live in the clubs, I know they should have been put on vinyl, tape or digital. But with manual labour's small payback, I have never had enough money left over to afford the high cost of recording those songs. Oh well, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has fallen through the cracks. And God Bless those who somehow managed to get their music promoted by those producers who had the money to make their songs heard.
Great article.
