It was only that other performers would hear songs before I turned professional. One of the nicest elements on thatof mine and want to record them. With Daltrey we just sent him a song was a guy who played with Elton John called James Newton load of songs that we hadn't got round to recording and that was all Howard who did a fabulous arrangement-miles away from Diana it was. They were never written with him in mind; I always write Ross' version. Now everybody's telling me to release it as a single, my songs with me in mind.

My whole credo is like being one step ahead, doing the unexpected. So I've never been a fully fledged songwriter as a guy who kind I've not had much luck with the rock press; suddenly they seem toof hawks his songs around and does all that sort of thing;Iguess be very down on me. Just recently I'm doing some light entertain- I'm a singer/songwriter. The only reason that I started writing songs ment TV shows over here and they seem to think like "Oh God this was thatI never felt confident enough to sing anybody else's words. guy from rock & roll doing these things"-but why not? Now I'm I really felt that to perform anything with a belief or with sincerity doing a TV special for the BBC which I'm really looking forward to. I'd have had to have lived the situation thatI was singing about.

The media will always It was written very much in the same situation as "You Make Me find that hard to fathom especially in England where I think they love Feel Like Dancing." Although those two songs are possibly the most the underdog, which is why we've got Punk Rock and things like successful that I've written so far, not a lot of time was taken on that.

The plans were made last year as a follow-up tour but we didn't go ahead with it. At the time of my last British Shining Starz tour I'd already started preparing "Endless Flight," although I didn't tell anybody because I wanted to keep itin the dark. Already on that tour I was starting to branch in other directions and trying other things out.I was playing harmonica on stage and doing a couple of numbers in the act that had never been heard before and have never been heard since. I wrote a whole load of songs last year that haven't been recorded yet, I don't know if they ever will, they were in a completely different direction. A lot of them were really hard rock, some of them were kind of Bruce Springsteen, just very different. After "Another Year"I was just really branching out and trying lots of different things and I think the amalgam of all those different ideas came out in "Endless Flight." There were lots of thingp thatI was longing to get into and maybe things that I couldn't write myself soI was picking out other people's songs.

It could be a monster.

A Personal Note to All D.J.'s STONEY EDWARDS-Capitol 4433 In1959, when I heard for the first time, "HE'LL HAVE TO GO," on a radio station in Nebraska, the artist was unknown to PICKIN' WILDFLOWERS (S.

It feels to the Troubadours, "That's afine song and as great aper- good! The Jesse Winchester penned "Yankee Lady" on the flip side formance asI've ever heard by any singer." could find heavy FM and progressive play. Well, today Billy is a friend of mine and his 1977 performance on "HE'LL HAVE TO GO"is even better,if that's possible.If SUNDAY SHARPE-Playboy 5806 "SHE ALWAYS LOVED ROSES" isn't a hit song, then I never sang I'M NOT THE ONE YOU LOVE (I'M THE ONE YOU MAKE LOVE TO) (J.
