I find writing very hard. Writing posts to the list is usually quite difficult for me. Writing lyrics and poetry is much easier and I seem to have some talent for it. (At least judging from comments by the people who use my lyrics) Getting started can be hard, but once I get going, I can find those rhythyms and twist the language into something that may have little or no real meaning, but evokes images and may even "sound" like it has meaning. It can be a lot of fun. > > Keep up the hard work, > Lately I've been getting credit for being someone who does a lot to support independent musicians. I suppose that is true, but I just enjoy the projects and the music. And it looks like one of our bands, The Naming, is going to let me issue their (IMO) wonderful album Sun King. I am constantly amazed that this band could never get signed. xponent Sun King Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
