re: Have any you musicians 'lost it'?

Writing is easy. Writing something that sounds original yet personal, fits with the project you’re working with, and feels so good that you overcome your self-consciousness enough to want to share with others, is VERY difficult. That moment when a new song you came up with first starts to come to life is one of those moments of pure magic that music only can give you.

Before anybody hears any song of mine for the first time, I've already recorded several guitar/vocal versions, different guitar rhythms and adjusting lyrics here and there, until I've got something I'm happy with. That's the hardest part, because I look for every conceivable weakness, especially lyrically.
If I'm doing something with somebody else, I'm not nearly as critical, because I can blame weakness on them

Can't say that I've lost it, because I've never had it.

I'm in that club too however my new found desire to play like Jerry Garcia may keep me busy for a while.
