This was a fun article. I enjoyed it. I mean, if no one has told you they hate your music, you’re good to go!
🙂 Thanks! I know this is how I operate as a writer… (Actually, news readers used to be pretty mean even when it wasn’t possible to troll. Back in my early days of newspapering — when I was writing politics — I tended to get a lot of screamers on the phone. Don’t miss that!)
You’re welcome! I wouldn’t be able to handle witing critiques of my writing deliveered by screamers over the phone. It was bad enough dealing with them as an academic advisor.
Hope you got a picture with them and their signatures because who knows they might be world traveling, rocking and rolling engineers one day. They sounded like a pair of talented, down to earth teenagers.
That was a great story, Nora. I liked their “joy” and determination. And talent. Wow. Multiple instruments, hours of practice, and really lovely lyrics. Best of luck to them. Thanks for sharing!

🙂 I learned to parse before publishing. Not a bad thing.

I learned to do the same for emails I sent to prevent feather ruffling.
