The leader... a Nashville legend. One of the songs I played him.. he hated... Its a murder ballad... and he did not like the combination of jaunty tune for a macabre tale. I tried to explain that this was the whole point... But he said that was not the Nashville Way. Rodney is a great mentor to young musicians... and he knows and plats with everyone. A long time sideman for Emmylou Harris.... and once married to Rosanne Cash, who he worked with and co wrote songs.
I worked with Gretchen Peters in 2018 in Edinburgh. Great to work with her again.
JP (ex Civil Wars) was the main reason for going on this course. I sought him out early on and he was very honest that he had not taught songwriting before. He asked me for some feedback on his class.. which needless to say was excellent. I play a few of his songs.. and one in particular which was never released under the Civil Wars banner.. he could not believe I knew it... (I Should have Known Better).
Bill is the last survivor of the classif Little Feat Line up. He played piano on Bob Seeger songs and once you have heard is 'as many notes as possible' style you cant mistake it... Not much tutoring went on in his sessions.... he just told stories...
Peter & Gordon 60s star to manager and record producer. And a really nice guy.
