I remember talking to an author once who said, "I would write, if no one but me read it."<br />I have grand sons who write songs and sings them, nothing discourages them from writing because like you have said, it is the love and desire, not the money (for the real writer).jack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-49962371373804246902017-03-20T20:58:17.417-05:002017-03-20T20:58:17.417-05:00I imagine that sculpture refers to St. Francis'...I imagine that sculpture refers to St. Francis' sermon to the birds?stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-88280382194044340072017-03-20T12:53:00.840-05:002017-03-20T12:53:00.840-05:00So happy you and Jilda enjoyed a soul-FULL time, R...So happy you and Jilda enjoyed a soul-FULL time, Rick.

It takes talent, luck, grittiness, and sometimes a gimmick. There is at ton of talent that never makes a dime, some crap talent that becomes rich and famous. I think you are right, you become an artist for the money.joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-32087130557738591972017-03-19T21:53:57.569-05:002017-03-19T21:53:57.569-05:00Rick,

He is with the Shades Mountain Airs, a bluegrass group, and has written lots of good songs. We've heard them a couple of times at Moonlight on the Mountain.Charles Kinnairdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651225996573989932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-86702213918313956132017-03-19T21:13:19.812-05:002017-03-19T21:13:19.812-05:00Looking at your previous posts I could tell you we...Looking at your previous posts I could tell you were hoping for a good weekend of learning and sharing talents. Sounds like it was good! I've listened to your music on your CD and know you and Jilda are quite talented so I can't imagine you need much more learning! But it's great to have others share what they know and to pick up more tips. I love the pic of the pavilion too! I need one of those here at the Pines! yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.com
