Well I thought I would just chime in and also say that I could be included in 
the freelance writer dept as I have a column in the local arts/? mag here in 
DE. It is called unchained and it highlights independent local businesses- 
i.e. theatres, diners, vintage clothing, icecream, whatevers. A BIG passion for 
me as well as good music. 

I have also had my foray into record reviews via the indulgent folks at the 
Bystander- one for the latest FOW masterpiece and in the latest ish a glowing 
review of the Candy Butchers' gem. Written in the afterglow of the Boston Pop 
Underground event! 

Which leads me to 2 points, then I will digress and go to bed AFTER I have 
changed the clocks-- One is that- I, being a huge pop fan, have the most 
difficult time with music reviews, so that I have to concur that writing about music 
is like dancing about architechture. Actually the latter would be easier for 
me- but if it weren't for the compulsion to "spread the good news" about great 
new releases by FOW and Candy Butchers I would rarely open my trap about 
music. Coming from numerous first had experiences, I find that the more someone's 
music touches me, the more inarticulate I become in trying to explain the 
impact it has on me. 

(ie- my still fumbling attempt at answering "so what kind of music does your 
husband play?")


In other writerly pop musings, and also in RE to FOW's Troubled Times---I 
have been thinking for a while now about writing a screenplay with PLENTY of pop 
music/musicians in it. Alas I am no good with the words but if anyone wants to 
help out with the writing bit, I have a good story! email me,

:-)
