    • I remember this spotlight. You both were amazing on this.

      • Thanks, Fia. It was a great interview, I can’t really rate them though, because I love them all equally. I learned in the songwriting world, a song is like your own child and you want it to succeed. Well I have a lot of creative children my friend. Between songs, poems, interviews, and music commentary. Like real life some achieve others not so much. I got deep into that metaphor, I did a me. I miss, Duende as well. Appreciate you.

    • Duende is a marvelous woman. Talented writer. Cool person all around. Great piece Damian.

      • Thanks, Keith. She is all that my friend and more. It was a great interview for sure. Thanks for reading and your continued support my friend. Appreciate you.

    • I keep hoping she’ll show up again. Maybe one day. I know a lot of people struggle with the closing of DUP. The transition to new lands can be a challenge. I miss her too, my friend

      • Thanks, Willow. Maybe one day, we can hope my friend. That they are, it’s understandable though, it was their creative home. Yes, I miss her too. Appreciate you.

    • Thanks, Mary. That she is my friend. Hopefully she’ll see it’s posted. Appreciate you.

    • One of the best poets, and thankfully one I call friend. Her heart is big and forgiving. She sees the good in everyone. I wish I could read more of her, but when her poems pop up it is always special. Now log on! Haha.

      Was nice learning some new things about her. Great interview.

      • Thanks so much reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. She is one of a kind for sure. I miss reading her as well. Appreciate you.

    • Thanks so much, Duende. I’m glad they live on in a new home, while still honoring our former home. It was an honor interviewing you my friend, I’m glad you said, Yes. lol. To quote David Lee Roth: “We were laughing like pirates!” Well it was two friends chatting. 😊 I appreciate you as well, Duende.

    • This was such an interesting interview. I enjoyed hearing Duende’s explanation about the meaning of her name and how she learned about poetic elements. I didn’t know she was from the Netherlands. You tease out some fascinating material, Damian.

      Duende, it must have been quite frightening to go for five years without any literary inspiration. I can’t imagine it, because you’re a gifted writer and writers are called. I’m so glad you found your muse!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Meg. So glad you enjoyed the interview my friend. I’ve learned every interview has it’s on flavor, my guests are an important part of the dance. In fact I usually let them lead, it’s their interview I’m happy to follow and add some ingredients into the pot. Duende, is a cool lady, and an incredibly gifted writer. Yeah, she’s from the same place as the Van Halen brothers. She even messaged me a pic from her local paper, showing the a candlelight vigil that fans made after EVH’s death. Appreciate you.
