Marty Dodson of Songtown town asks a good question:
I write because: a) I think I’ve got something to say, and b) I like the creative challenge of trying to find new & unique ways to say it. I’m not sure anyone else would ever want to perform my songs since they’re so rooted in my eccentric personality, so I don’t even really think about that. But I DO like the idea of performing & recording my own songs, if only to get them out there for a few people to hear. Who knows, something in one of them just might strike a deep chord in a listener and help them out in some way, — or just give them a moment’s pleasure. Just gotta stay humble and keep working at it…
