Question #2:
Here's my question for Ty: What non-music-related things (e.g. Art, literature, people, Goldilink websites) do you look to for inspiration when songwriting?

thanks!
Paul Tiseo
Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

Answer:
i would say that 'most' of my inspiration for writing comes from
non-musical-related things.  books are one of the most common influences on
me.  anything that causes my mind to stretch a little.  general life
experiences are also at the top of the list.
