BRIGHT LIGHT IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR 02/15/2023

BRIGHT LIGHT IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR Though this is not a praise poem for President Biden and Vice-President Harris, it is however sort of a gratitude piece. Because everyone needs a thank you for what they have and still are doing every now and then. Although in the two years of President Biden tenure, he has not quite accomplish his vison, not for the lack of trying, but because of two traitors in the senate. Yet both he and Madam Vice-President have been successfull in the things they have been able to do. So this is my small creative contribution to saying thank you. /episode/index/show/e72c0d22-fed1-4145-878c-ac3fc3d0142a/id/25933338

A BACKDOOR TO STARDOM 02/04/2023

A BACKDOOR TO STARDOM In this episode of Artist to Artist, I discuss the various ways that sometimes as artist we must find entry to the realms of success. Many times the path we have journeyed on with our artist sojurn may not always be what propels us to "stardom." Indeed we may have to take a backdoor to "stardom," for example we may have started out as a prolefic musician, but may wind up being a dinomite songwriters, and it is that talent we didn't realize we had that catipults us to our creative/monetary success. /episode/index/show/e72c0d22-fed1-4145-878c-ac3fc3d0142a/id/24988776

LOOKING FOR THE APPLAUSE 01/21/2023

LOOKING FOR THE APPLAUSE In this episode of Artist to Artist I deal with the need for you as the artist to applaud yourself every now and then. To not always be so ready to sek the applause from others, particularly your colleague. Thought your colleagues are for sure those whom you deem worthy to critque/or to conedoen your artistry, however sometimes it is best to listen to the aideince in yourself, to hear the inner applause just so that you continue to feel artistcally relavent and professionaly viable. /episode/index/show/e72c0d22-fed1-4145-878c-ac3fc3d0142a/id/24987990
