Songs With A Co Writer

These songs, as should be apparent by the title of this page, were written with someone else. I've written all the music in these cases; the songwriting partner has written the lyrics, and then I've changed a word or two here or there, rearranged this or that, to better fit the flow of the music. These songs were written lyrics first; when I write solo, I find it much easier to write the music first, for I can then listen to the music and try to hear what it's saying, you know? Therefore, such exercises such as these are always somewhat difficult.

Nobody's Child                lyrics	Written with the lovely Cindy!
Private Offender             lyrics	Written with Stèpane Rouchy in a cross-Atlantic manner (He's a Parisian; wrote lyrics, sent them to me, and I'd write music). He's now a playright (four successful plays in France, working on a deal to bring one to New York).
