Of Ravens and Writing Desks. The Official Blog of Smithcraft Press. Some rejection letters are treasures, some are trash. I just got a treasure in the mail. Someone once challenged me to get to one hundred rejection slips and they’d buy me coffee. I’m notoriously frugal so I immediately set out to spend a ridiculous amount on stamps and envelopes so I could get a free cappuccino. I never got to one hundred. I never got to twenty. All I got was published. She bought me my coffee anyway. What do they want?

Swing, Swing, Swing | September Songs
https://septembersongs.wordpress.com/2007/09/07/swing-swing-swing
A song a day (video and sometimes a few lyrics), for one month only. Swing, Swing, Swing. I don’t know a lot about swing music except that I like it a lot. I know that it developed in the 1920s, and evolved out of the lively jazz experimentation that began in New Orleans and developed further (and in varying forms) in Kansas City and New York City. And that what is now called swing diverged from other jazz music in ways that distinguished it as a form in its own right. Long before the swing revival.

George Clooney’s Aunt Rosie | September Songs
https://septembersongs.wordpress.com/2007/09/12/george-clooneys-aunt-rosie
A song a day (video and sometimes a few lyrics), for one month only. George Clooney’s Aunt Rosie. Today I have a handful of songs performed by the magnificent Rosemary Clooney. I can think of no singer who put as much depth of meaning into her singing as she. And her talent matured greatly with age. Even though her voice wasn’t quite as wonderful in later life as it was earlier, her expressiveness grew with each passing year. She hit it big with “Come On-a My House” in 1951. She starred in the movie.

Kathryn Dawn | September Songs
https://septembersongs.wordpress.com/2007/09/14/kathryn-dawn
A song a day (video and sometimes a few lyrics), for one month only. It’s funny, I’m not interested in a bio of the third in my trio of my “girl singers,” k.d. lang. Not interested in writing an overview, not interested in reading one. Everything I want or need to know about her is in her music, and what it makes me feel. She made a number of albums before her career really took off. And take off it did, in a single moment: when she appeared on. Absolute Torch and Twang. She was a big-boned gal. As she e...

A Bunch of Brecht (and Weill) | September Songs
https://septembersongs.wordpress.com/2007/09/02/a-bunch-of-brecht
A song a day (video and sometimes a few lyrics), for one month only. A Bunch of Brecht (and Weill). Yesterday we heard Weill and Anderson. Today it will be Weill and Brecht. Is one of my favorite works of musical theater, and it was is a truly revolutionary piece. I don’t speak German, but I have memorized most of. Amazing score in German. My favorite bit is the refrain from “The Cannon Song ,. 8221; just because it’s so darned fun to sing. It goes:. Vom Cap bis Couch Behar. Wenn es mal regnete. In 1928 ...
