Progress on the short comic libretto this morning, wrote a nice duet by and about drinking buddies. The librettist's role, it seems to me, is to inspire the composer with great characters and a good story and rhythmic lines for him to work with. But I see myself totally in the service of John, the music coming first. Since our method has been to begin with the libretto, which I believe is often the case, I hope to write what triggers his best musical creativity.
