What Musicians Say about River Music. It's always nice when people that you write about like what you write. I'm no musician, and one of the big unknowns about River Music. Was what musicians might think. In fact, I was so unsure that I went out of my way not to ask musicians I knew what their opinion was. But to my great delight, the reaction of musicians has been spontaneous and very positive. Here are three:. From pianist Jana Stuar. Mary, I just finished. Swept Away by River Music. Mary's book is a m...

Tansky's Phone Booth: The Favourite Game, Recognized.
http://tanskysphonebooth.blogspot.com/2012/05/favourite-game-recognized.html
Thursday, 17 May 2012. The Favourite Game, Recognized. Your shoulders say 'come closer' but your ankle taps say 'you bore me.". Image from www.1heckofaguy.com. It looks like an early courtship's to and fro, its woo and coy, but the above park-bench camaraderie is how last Monday night would appear as a photo-montage. The Glenn Gould Foundation proffered its triennial award to Leonard Cohen. Photo by Nigel Dickson. There are things we know now that we didn't know last week. Young adulthood in Montreal, th...

On bounced rent cheques and teary-eyed excuses: July 2014
http://therentcollector.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
On bounced rent cheques and teary-eyed excuses. Monday, July 28, 2014. As I approach 50 -. I laugh less but appreciate it much more. I enjoy Johnny Cash's music. I find women of different shapes and sizes beautiful and attractive. I understand the value of hard work. Why it happened doesn't seem to matter as much as the fact that it happened. I am slower to anger, quicker to cry. I am slower at almost everything, but time seems to move faster. Memories are less about events and more about people. Poet, b...
