MAURICE TANI – THE LOVERS CARD<\/h1>\n
Writing a sentence is hard work.
\nOne with a clean line and a nice shape.<\/p>\n
Good luck with that.<\/p>\n
So too is writing a melody that\u2019s musical and appears original.
\nCombining both into a song involves talent. Real talent.<\/p>\n
Like jumping from the foul line to dunk a basketball or playing The Goldberg Variations from memory.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not a parlor trick.<\/p>\n
Harry Reasoner once interviewed Paul McCartney on 60 Minutes at one point asking,
\n\u201cYou\u2019ve written so many great songs, how do you do it?\u201d
\n\u201cIt\u2019s really very simple, you take a pencil and paper and a guitar and you go into a room. Half an hour later you come out with a song.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not that Maurice Tani is Paul McCartney or that he can play the Goldberg Variations from memory but he is closer to dunking a basketball from the foul line than most of us.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s not a parlor trick.<\/p>\n<\/div>
