Pastoral Resources

In high school, I was Mr. Choir Boy. I had solos, I was helping out the tenors with their parts and our choir teacher would ask me what songs we should do.

I'm a song and dance girl. I can act enough to get by. But that's the limit of my talents.

We still play Foreigner songs. I play the songs that I was involved in writing.

I find singing some of Foreigner's older songs are a little reckless and not exactly who I am now.

What goes on between a father and a son, which is usually such a private matter, is that they are able to be honest with each other, and be honest with me, as a director. It's just remarkable.

The independent role of morphology in mate choice is revealed by the rare instances where the usual association between song and morphology is disrupted.

Thus mating of females was strictly along the lines of paternal song.

To summarize, the particular song a male sings, and the behavioral responses of females to song and morphological signals, are not genetically inherited in a fixed manner but are determined by learning early in life.

The divergence of songs in the new population away from those in the progenitor population would only be prevented if these processes were balanced by repeated immigration and subsequent breeding: song flow.

Species can be recognized by their morphological characteristics and songs.

But to make a holiday record that involves favorite American songs and then also get to sing about Jesus birth, it just seemed like a real easy, subtle way to combine a couple of things that I love.

Presented with a song like Exit Music, It's impossible to know what to add without actually making it worse. How can you play along when It's already there?

It's what the Pixies always said about music - they were writing songs and just trying not to be boring. That was their main motivation and it worked for them. I remember reading that and thinking that was the way to do it.

Right now my mind is on the people who stole our instruments, and, specifically, the person with my guitar, which will no doubt end its days having Green Day songs worked out on it. A better fate was deserved - and while the reverence given to guitars annoys me, I shall miss it.

The compelled mother loves her child as the caged bird sings. The song does not justify the cage nor the love the enforcement.

Steve produced Girls Grow Up Faster Than Boys and one more. Then he and I wrote a few songs together and became good friends. He was a talented producer.

I produced a song for Bobby Vee called Get The Message.

Being a good songwriter means paying attention and sticking your hand out the window to catch the song on the way to someone else's house!

Even though my songs may sound very personal, to me most of them are fiction. It is a great way for me to be able to live a fantasy life as a writer because I get to be someone else, someplace else for three and a half minutes, just like the listener.

I decided it was time to pay tribute to my own songs, to give them the opportunity to mature and be adult.
