About Me

a big kid, creative, lousy listener, independent, competent, ethical, thin skinned
Describe Yourself:

1) I see a world that is not evil, but glorious. 2) My hope is that other musicians will find the songs I've posted here and want to perform and record them. 3) I'm a fool for yard sales. See a more thorough profile at http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474976748162

HI Ron, The award for you is the "MOST ROMANTIC SURGERY" Award.

Take my heart and hold it close albeit cleft in two.
Take pity love, I trust your skill to render it anew.

You also get to be in the 13/14 club, with 13 syllables in the first and 14 syllables in the second. I'm just giving you a hard time. I love the couplet!

Cheerio,

David

Hello Ron--

I posted an article on Words & Languages. It follows an interesting etymology of the word 'demon." Nothing scary, though.Quite the contrary. Hope you get a chance to read it!

I am really new at this gather thing, I received a email messege from you about publishing articles to your space, but I am not sure how to do it. I would love feedback about my writing, so I am trying to plod through the learning curve of this web site. Maybe you can check out my site and look at some of my work there. I'd like to get more into this but again, I'm tech challanged with the site.
