I really enjoyed hearing the transition from concept to the end. My first thought was of watching the documentary "Get Back" and hearing the songs being born. Cheers.

Second sketch I immediately heard "Anything That's Rock & Roll" ~ Tom Petty...so the old influences thing....Chuck Berry...makes sense...loved all the takes!!

Very cool look into your creative process. Interesting how an artist will shed various renditions, yet carry elements and build. Call it sculpting work. I truly appreciate the intimacy you're allowing into your work. And thanks for the tip on Dylan's interview. It'll be good for a poet as well, I'm sure. I might have read it, prior..but off to the internet! Thanks again, Pete. Be well!

Marble mouthing! Fascinating! I do something similar when writing comedy. I see the punchline but leave gaps in the set up until the rest of the piece comes into view. Or vice versa. Writing is rarely a pure and linear process.

First sketch sounds Wildflowers-esque. In the second sketch I thought you might be ending on that repeat of "out where nothing lasts"....fading, slowly!

Dang man. Would love to play that rock-n-roll version with you.

Love to see all the flavors they run through as they evolve.
