I find myself beset with gratitude again. Last night, for nearly 2 1/2 hours, two friends -- a guitarist and a bass player -- played nothing but original music. We got through nearly 20 of my songs. I think they are getting tired of me thanking them for jamming but I can't not do that. Many of the songs have never seen the light of day beyond my little writing area. The songs take on new dimensions, new layers, new sounds, new interpretations. I hear them different. Grateful. #smallstories
