About Me and Words And Music
Me
I’m from England, and my career in finance and management consulting took me to every almost country in Europe as well as North America and the Far East
(That portrait of me up there from my business life has me looking very serious)
However, all bad things come to an end, and I now have the luxury of spending my time on boats, making music, and writing from my home in Palm Beach County, Florida
Why this, and why now ?
I’ve been writing for many years, but never bothered to publish
Now I’ve got a little more time on my hands and this wonderful Substack platform makes it easy to publish, so I’m going for it
Using the web to share what brings a smile to my face and being connect with like minded people is a big part of the motivation
What to expect from Words And Music
There will be occasional pieces, on no specific days
The subjects that attract me are mainly contemporary, but don’t be surprised if I find an interesting topic by delving back a couple of hundred years into a book or a composer’s work
Hopefully you’ll see a diverse, broad and eclectic range of work and perhaps the observations and perspectives that I bring will be surprising
If you enjoy variety and are interested in literature and music you might find my musings enjoyable - just subscribe to keep up to date
Initially the work will be in written form, with occasional podcasts so you can hear them on the go; like a mini on-demand radio show segment to listen to in the car or when you’re working out
The future goal is to release a written piece and it’s companion podcast simultaneously
So, join me for a ride through the words and music that have appealed to my literary and musical instincts and given me a lot of pleasure joy along the way
You can subscribe and stay up to date
You won’t have to worry about missing anything I publish. Every new piece goes directly to your inbox…
AND I promise not to fill your email - my goal is to deliver occasional items to brighten your day - and its easy to unsubscribe
