POETS AND POETRY!

2017-12-29
Loved this Ken....it explains the way I write songs, I dont write them I just sing them as I play, my reasoning is that they can never be wrong because they only came into existence when I sang them...so even mistakes are are correct because there are no mistakes....ps will have to get my blue tooth keyboard set up on his ipad its a nightmare typing. ..thanks for he link Ken, I will work my way through your work.....I believe in Synchronicity so when the time is right....the time is right..
