JR frowned at the marked up sheet of paper on the table as he took a swig of his beer. He'd been working on the tune for a while now and still wasn't happy with it. Part of it was plain old rust, he hadn't tried to compose a song since Guadalcanal let alone since he came back to the island. Plus he was challenging himself, working in classical guitar styles into a more popular format like the Eagles had done with Hotel California. "Can't do anything the easy way, can you Sully?" He shook his head and put down the beer to reach for his guitar so he could run through the melody yet again. The only way to perfect a song was to keep picking at it until you got it right.
