I find it difficult if not down right
impossible to write sometimes. My best work I have often attributed to James
Edward Prentice my alter ego and the pen name from time to time.. (Strictly by
coincidence I think, There was a poet, author in the late 1800-early 1900's by
this name). I find my best writing comes when I have a rhythm stuck in my head.
Words tend to flow out of the rhythm and reach the emotional level where my
muse lives. This does not mean that everyone will feel that rhythm, quite
the opposite. I hope what I write reaches your muse and you find
your own rhythm for the words.
I have worked around music and been a
collector of music from a very young age. I have very eclectic tastes.
From Emmylou Harris and Townes Vanzandt, to Carol King , Joni Mitchel,
Bob Dylan, to Deep Purple, BOC, BTO, CSN, to Tuck and Patty and Otmir
Leibert on to LL Cool J and Run DMC. Lightning Hoppkins, Sonny Rollins,
John Coultrain, Bach, Strause, Mark Don and Mel, Doc Jones, Charlie
Cobb, Penny, Sandra Phillips and the lists go on and on. Sorry
if my spelling is rough Its 2:17 am and
I am getting a little
tired lol.
