Book of lyrics/music leather journal

Passage below by JULIAN BLACKMORE

 Most of Elton John's early catalog was written lyrics first. His collaborator Bernie Taupin would write a complete lyric, and Elton John would set it. They wrote many songs together before they even met in person, and even then continued with a words-first collaboration. We're going to look at this thoroughbred approach right now.

Lyric writing is a craft that can be studied and practiced for a lifetime.
