Hi Paul. Composers are like poets, always searching for the right rhythm, the right word to fit into that rhythm. Short but very profound and full of so many images in the mind. Very nice, my friend.... Robert.

Hi Cona...I have always admired (and envied) composers for what they are able to create...but perhaps they think of us poets on similar lines! // paul
