Neel Modi is a multi-talented songwriter, drummer and keyboardist with an eclectic collection of recordings from the quirky to the imaginative. On this show, he presented "Depend on Me" - based on a challenge to write a song about a car accident from the brake pad's point of view - it's a "brake-up" song ;-), and "Nature's Lullaby", a collaboration with singer/songwriter Sonja Seiler, a touching poetic take on the interconnection between all things in the natural world. The third song was "I Never Write Her a Song", a catchy response to a request from Neel's spouse. She loves it!

Topics of discussion ranged from anthropomorphism to collaboration and descants,to the power of modulation to lift a song to a whole new level of energy.
