I absolutely loved it. It really felt like I was ease-dropping on a conversation or in the audience of a VIP -insiders songwriters convention. Not a convention where you count how many times you blink, wonder who has gum or pray for a distraction to sneak out - but an edge-of-your-seat, no-lunch-needed type. I really appreciate your humor and insight."
