Is Words And Music for you?
I’m hoping to reach a community that has an interest in short form pieces across a broad range of subjects concerning principally words (mainly books) and music (both artists and tunes)
The subjects will be 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 collection and perhaps the observations and perspectives that I bring might be surprising
If you enjoy variety and are interested in literature and music you might find my musings enjoyable - just subscribe to join in
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
Expect 1 or 2 pieces every month, on no specific days
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
Eventually when I’ve figured out all the technical pieces, I hope to simultaneously release a written piece and it’s companion podcast
Launching as a free subscription initially, there may be a subscription in the future if the costs of production increase, and I am able expand the content
You can always pledge to become a paid subscriber now, in the event that I reach that point
So, I hope you’ll join me for a ride through the words and music that have appealed to my literary and musical instincts and given me great joy along the way
Are you ready? Let’s buckle up and get going!
