Hey Folks,
Some songs seem to leap right out of my head onto disk, without effort. That's wonderful. Little work, lots of payoff. Other times, I get a little ditty rolling. It sounds promising, but in need of work. I keep editing and polishing. Then I start to despair a bit: "Damn - I've put hours of work into this turd and it still isn't developing the way I want it to."
At what point do you just scrap a tune and move on? Or, do you stay the course until the bitter end, in hopes that your hard work will pay off in the form of a piece that you're satisfied with?
