" Rick Smith and John Thiel began their music collaboration just a couple of years ago. In that short time they have written many beautiful songs. What we would like to present to you on our site is not only some great tunes but also an insight into the creative process. How are songs written? There is no real formula as each song comes in different ways. We will be posting comments on each one, with some stories into how they came into being. We also welcome any questions that anyone has, as we check the site regularly."
