I also feel that the only thing more gratifying than working with someone who you've worked well with is working with someone new and coming up with something great.
Growing up I played in garage bands and cover bands with my older brother, and he got us a gig opening up for some hippie jam band. I was 15. I felt like such an adult!
My mother always told me, even if a song has been done a thousand times, you can still bring something of your own to it. I'd like to think I did that.
