how knowledgeable you are and your way of making the material comprehensible "
-- George David Weiss, hit songwriter and past President, Songwriters Guild

" It was a pleasure to be in your workshops. Your grasp of the material and your ability to articulate it made it quite enjoyable" -- Ron Sowell, Founder of Mountain Stage Radio Show and the New Song Contest
"That was the most coherent and practical songwriting presentation I've ever heard, bar none" -- Mary Dawson, Author "How to Get Somewhere in the Music Business From Nowhere With Nothing" at Dallas workshop
"I am a published songwriter and member of the NSAI. Most of the songwriting articles that I have found on the internet are elementary. I found yours to be insightful and challenging, and comparable to a graduate course for songwriters. Keep up the great work. " -- J. Dobrowolski, published songwriter and member NSAI
"Your material is essential reading for songwriters as far as I’m concerned. I have applied the concepts to my own songwriting and I know it has improved it. The way you have laid out the concepts is quite creative and gives everyone a great visual of the process. I’ll be buying the book." -- Mark Miller, songwriter and author of "Blogging in B minor"

Decker, workshop attendee, Singer-Songwriter Conference, Cape May, NJ
"Your critiques are excellent, as I knew they would be" -- J. Spector, Indie International Songwriting Contest
"I've been spottily working my way through your book and I'm very impressed by your idea regarding sending the audience away with what you want them to get versus them making their own meanings.
