Icarus was written in the aftermath of the loss of a friend to drug addiction. Houston Songwriter's Association was kind enough to make this one a contest winner.

AI is a powerful tool in the right hands.. and a very dangerous one on the wrong hands. As with all tools... it is the intent of the user that counts. Great article.

He's fabulous isn't he? He has always been famous for his playing more than singing but he really has a great voice. I love that metaphor "living branch from the tree of music"... an apt description... thanks for commenting.
