Thanks Mike. I had to laugh as I read your post because it reminded me of the first time Mickey ever said that he liked some of the stuff that I wrote. I had written a, I think, a Christmas poem and put it on the board. I talked, a few days, later to Mickey. I was thrilled when he told me that he liked my poem. He started telling all the good stuff about it. I was puffed up beyond belief. This was Mickey Newbury, hall of fame song writer, telling me that I was a good writer. Then....... came the part where he said “Here are some things that you might want to work on.” Needless to say my “Things to work on” list was way, way, longer than my “good stuff” list. Never the less, I was able to say that my poem was good enough for THE Mickey Newbury to give me pointers on.
