And chaos promotes change and growth. It is essential to the community... We all have tribes - family, close friends, associates, people who think like we do. But a tribe cannot be exclusive. It has to attract and deal with outsiders on a regular basis. And it's those very same outsiders that change us... This book was my drawing together of the tribe, the tribe of songwriters. I wanted to include them in the conversations I've had in my head for years. I wanted to find out what made them desire to be songwriters. And I am so grateful that they answered the call. It's important for us to hear what others are doing, how they deal with the very same issues we all face... - Jane Eamon
