Steve Bennett began writing terrible lyrics when he was 16, yet he managed to connect to musicians who collaborated musically, and also women who broke his heart. That's where the good stuff begins. No? Then he was trained as a Waldorf/Steiner teacher, and continued to write for children. That's where the discipline and the ability to write to a curriculum, to someone else's design, became polished and began to stand out. As teaching took a side lane, writing did not, and again supported by a failing love life, songs flowed. Thank you to the women who inadvertently helped me tune in to how I felt and to poor it out in song.
