I can relate to almost every line of this piece and I feel older now than I did when I started it. You're a master wordsmith, evoker of vivid imagery and emotion. I have really enjoyed reading your newest work. The Desperate Hound won't be soon forgotten, as well. Great story telling here, Glenn.janetleighhttp://janetleigh.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327165758377801408.post-10698850551053413802014-02-09T09:09:46.234-08:002014-02-09T09:09:46.234-08:00Glenn, it is tiring.

Course staying true to form, when you get all those licks down you'll want to repeat Line 1 lyrically but shift the melody to a minor 5th and then resolve on the third line. Hey it could put you in the green, Man. I liked that you found yourself in it and wrote what you had to say.

I think one good thing about age is the development of a sharp tongue and bold words! And bold words that you can speak with a strong voice in a land where there is more than one choice!! I think 'at a certain age' one has earned to right to speak boldly and unashamedly!! I enjoyed your sound effects!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.com
