“When you write a show, you just never know if it will have a future or if the show will end up ever having a production, but, that doesn't mean that the songs - the best of the best songs - can't be pulled out and put on a CD. And, if the shows that they come from end up happening, then people will regard this as like a quirky little concept recording. And, if the shows don't end up happening, at least the songs will live on in some capacity.” PeopleIfsKnowsWritingMeanLittlesEndsShowsSongHappeningsConceptsCapacityRegardProductionsCdsQuirkyBest Of The Best Author:Michael Patrick Walker
“It was a matter of not seeing the woods for the trees. Glorious songs have been in Ireland forever, but a lot of these were so popular they were sung only by drunken men at weddings. They didn't have any regard for the song at all. So, I picked out 14 songs that I had grown up with, songs with great melodies. After 35 years as a songwriter, I appreciate the value of a good melody because I know how hard it is to write one. So I presented them in a new way, with piano, keyboards, strings, and a contemporary rhythm section. I just treated the melody with a bit of dignity and a bit of style.” KnowsMenWayWritingYearsHas BeensMatterHardValuesSongBitsKnow HowForeverSeeingTreeStyleAppreciateDignityRegardWoodsTreatedContemporaryRhythmPianoGloriousStringsMelodyIrelandNew WaysSongwritersSectionsKeyboardsRhythm Section Author:Phil Coulter
“One of the interesting things about Los Angeles is that it's still supplying the whole of the world with its dreams through movies and songs and TV - often of an all-American family at the same time as the real Los Angeles is peopled by souls from Vietnam, Guatemala, and Korea who look nothing like the images being beamed out. I think all that is going to have to change and illusion is going to have to catch up with reality in that regard.” ThinkingWorldLooksStillsRealSoulWholeDreamRealitySongInterestingTvsIllusionRegardLos AngelesVietnamKoreaInteresting ThingsAmerican FamilyGuatemala Author:Pico Iyer
