Thank you, Elke. It’s not often that I speak of my privacy and I couldn’t care less how some perceive me. I am what I am, hitched to a higher being.

I have two books by David McCullough I’m reading now so I’m glad to see he said that. I’ve been a musician for over fifty years and started when I was very young. If I couldn’t write (which for the most part I can’t anyway lol) I’d be hitting a drum or playing guitar.

You did a good interview here, Elke. Nice job.

It’s interesting to get a glimpse of the authors behind their words. And, perhaps we find a few things in common that we didn’t predict prior, like their personal beliefs, even.
After all, we are not generic souls hashing out the same results. Diversity is strength, even when the tastes are not always agreeable.
Good job, Sappho!

Amazing interview, Elke. Adagio is a great writer it was interesting to learn more about him. Appreciate you both.

I like that he was being interviewed instead of the other way around. Good job

Hoi hoi chère S., and chèr A.,
This is the 4th time I came back to the scene of the Rhyme, to be submerged in this ocean of beauty.
I’m no hero with alcohol, so I Raise my glass of chilled freshly squeezed orange juice.

Cheers to the interviewer; cheers to the interviewee!

This one is a solid proof of what Roger McGough said:
Keep it simple
Let’s not take ourselves too seriously
And (this one I love the best):
All this talent is fine, but bring your empathy

Alive and gigging – as far as I know he still performs – 88 years old.

This interview floored me with a deeply felt (or feld) human touch questioning. As well as simple but bulls eye answers.
Raise the flag and sound the trumpet.
I wave extra warmly to Sappho and to Atticus

Your pen has power, Naajir. You weld it like a trident of discourse. Because you see that discourse and use it against itself.
Always well spoken with a keen wisdom.

Powerfully penned, Naaj. Excellent write my friend. This has a flow that would make great song lyrics. Nicely done per usual brother. Appreciate you.

We read this thinking of all the people now wanting to claim innocence, The supporters of Nero and Caligua who supported the emperor even after discovering their madness. The mad rulers campaign on their sickness and still found themselves in power. There is no depth to the madness, you lose yourself using the normal routes to navigate. Tight

Powerfully penned, Brenda. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

Chère C.,
Not one to settle down is not necessarily the problem.
A couple of those may be convenient.
One who sees you as the oasis and one to hoover an put the garbage outside?
And who says you can’t be the sultan?

Your poem opened my eyes to many possibilities!
That’s what good work is supposed to do: be mind blowing….
Next one please…..
Kind regards, Gus

A well written piece! “)

Passionately penned, Brenda. Incredible write my friend. Appreciate you.
