Musical Creative Process - Video on NPR

Here is the link to a great 10-minute video on the musical creative process for recording artist, Stephen Merritt. NPR gave him an opportunity to choose two items to use as the basis for creating a song within 48 hours.

I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out.
