I’ll Make You Feel is a song I wrote with the idea of James Taylor’s Handyman in mind.

Handyman is about a guy who is by all accounts, a schmuck.

He tells women to send all their friends to him and he will fix their broken hearts.  Really, we know, he will sleep with them.  He’s saying, I’ll sleep with you and all your friends.

"He is the main thing I want to say… I’m busy 24 hours a day" - really….

The song is universally thought of as romantic.  I wanted to write a song about the same guy.

I take awhile to intro the song and you get to hear the sound of kids running around the yard.  Just a part of the outdoor house concert experience…

Here is the main thing I want to say
I’m busy 24 hours a day

Dog!!!  Genius!

Had discussions with a few different songwriters over the past couple of days.  Then yesterday, I met with Doug Welch again to discuss new media’s business value.

If you are a songwriter or creative type - how are you using new media to gain audience/exposure?

How are you using the various tools or websites to generate revenue?

What is your most pressing question about new media- blogging, podcasting, social media sites (myspace, facebook, linkedin, etc.), streaming video, etc?

At a recent house concert (in Chicago), I opened with an older song - I think 1993???

I messed up and almost sang the second verse a second time…
