    INTIMATE CONVERSATIONS THE BOOK, PART 03

    “I think “Intimate Conversations” works well in the way I wrote it in my own vernacular and style in plain words where you don’t have to go the dictionary to understand what I’m saying. Several people have said to me they feel like they’re looking over my shoulder as I talk to these musicians. I … Continue reading INTIMATE CONVERSATIONS THE BOOK, PART 03 →

    WHAT SENIORS SURRENDER

    The incredible twenty-four-year pitching career of Roger Clemens in which he won 354 games, 163 of them after Red Sox GM Dan Duquette allowed him to depart Boston, intoning that Roger was “in the twilight” of his career, may seem an odd place to begin this note. Actually, it isn’t, because belief in one’s self … Continue reading WHAT SENIORS SURRENDER →

    GETTING A BOOK PUBLISHED

    Not an easy task, especially when it’s one about classical music. Even if it contains stories drawn from face-to-face meetings with over twenty world class musical figures. I had high hopes submitting the manuscript to several major publishers and agents. Some were very admiring, but none said yes. All said the economics were unfavorable.

    WELLFLEET HISTORY TOLD

    As an historian, I was intrigued to receive a letter from the Wellfleet Historical Society that they planned to undertake an oral history project, to be converted and bound into text, in the Summer of 2023, to gather its fascinating history. I volunteered my services, one thing led to another, and in July I sat … Continue reading WELLFLEET HISTORY TOLD →

    PRODUCING YOUR OWN BOOK

    As said, I had some time when getting a trade publisher proved problematical. Then illustrator and friend, Holly Sullo, advised me that as the owner of the copyright to “Intimate Conversations,” I could publish that book privately without undercutting my chances of obtaining a publisher later because there was no agent, and no middleman. I … Continue reading PRODUCING YOUR OWN BOOK →
