Unconventional GeniusRoger Joseph Manning, JR. Songwriter and Musician on The Creative Process Behind Timeless MusicIt is quite common these days to hear people talking about the creative process. Anyone from graphic designers to app designers legitimately use the phrase to describe what it takes to be successful at what they do. But a long-time area of fascination for me has been the creative process that goes into making timeless music. And when that process is done in the context of a group of people - a band - it’s nothing short of amazing.
