Chat Spot

[Steve Plonk]

Looks like a great art museum & alternative stuff ...
Ron, You ought to check out the art museum, since you do live in the province...
Liked Nat King Cole's songs...that one's a good one... "Rambling Rose" was one
of my favorites...

I used to listen to Nat quite a bit in the early sixties & late fifties. I missed him when he died in 1965...Then I got into psychedelic music. I loved the Beatles,
The Rolling Stones, The Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, etc, & I was really into Dylan & Baez... I also loved "rockabilly", "do wop", jazz & classical & am a "twenty four hour music maniac", as I used to say...
I also was "very into" Nat's daughter, Natalie Cole, in the seventies & eighties. Tonight, I am headed for the Riverbend Music Festival, in nearby
Chattanooga, TN.

Thanks for your encouragement Chat Spot. My life-trajectory with music is a different one to yours. Go to the sub-section of my website for some of my story: http://www.ronpriceepoch.com/Music.html Take care of yourself Chat Spot as you do your 24/7 life with music; I'm on a 24/7 schedule but I've moved over to the music of writing in the last 2 decades and music and museums take a distant 2nd place.-Ron

Ron, wish you'd post more of your stuff on Studio Eight...I, too, have writing
as a major part of my life...I have been published on-line more than anywhere else in the print media...I love the internet opportunities to get more exposure
for my works... I liked your website...wish I had enough tech knowhow to
have one. My Column, "Life in the Horse Lane", Poetry Forum, & "Chat Spot" will do, for the time being... I also post on Litkicks.com & other sites...

Hope to get more posts from you & we can continue to chat here on "Chat Spot". Ron, I have personally known at least two devout Bahai'is in my life. One guy, named Joel, was on the same suite with me in college & another still lives in my hometown. The acquaintance in my hometown's first name is also "Ron". He's more than eighty years old now. I wonder how he's doing...

[RonPrice]

I am happy to continue chatting here at studio8. I spend at least 6 hours of the 12 I am up-and-at-'em and out of bed on the internet: reading and writing, editing and posting, researching and engaging in some scholarship. I have bipolar disorder and my medications keep me in bed for 12 hours a day to get an 8 hour sleep. Thanks for your encouragement to post more of my material; I'll do that this morning and comment on the works of others in the process. I'll check out your column "Life in the Horse Lane" as well, as I listen to the rain here in Tasmania, as we hit the mid-point of June here in Australia's winter.

I look forward to your thoughtful posts in the weeks and months ahead, as I head through these middle years(65-75) of late adulthood, the years from 60 to 80 according to one model of the lifespan used by developmental psychologists. Your 2 contacts with Baha'is in your life was also of interest.-Ron

Is this the link to your column Life in the Horse Lane: http://www.freewebs.com/ptcruisers/interviews.htm ......?

In the poetic war between the rhymers and the non-rhymers in the last, say, 200 years(to say nothing of the last 2000 or even 20,000) it's the non-rhymers who have won hands-down. Of course, it was not an overt war, but many of those who wrote poetry worry about the business of rhyming.-Ron Price, Tasmania

[Steve Plonk]

The "war" between rhymers and non-rhymers appears to still be ongoing...
Some of us, like myself, do both...We have called a truce.

No, Ron, that is not the right link to my column at all. That link you posted is a totally different site. Here is my link below--

My column is in the Columnists Forum in this same site in Studio Eight.
"Chat Spot" actually started in my "Life in the Horse Lane" Column!
Either scroll down to it, or use this link:

HAPPY FATHER"S DAY!

[RonPrice]

I still have not checked out your column,Steve; I'll do that today.-Ron

[Steve Plonk]

Thanks for looking, Ron. Appreciate your posts here & over on my column.

[RonPrice]

If I don't get to your column very often, Steve, it is because I have spread myself widely across cyberspace, as you will note if you google: Ron Price forums or Ron Price blogs ....I've registered now at over 8000 sites to collect a readership of literally millions. It's busy work that I have to keep limited or I'd never get any of my own writing done---to say nothing of life in real space.-Ron

[Steve Plonk]

Ron, looks like you are keeping really busy...Thanks again for your input.

[Steve Plonk]

Wake up sleepy heads in the net & post a little with me...
We'll follow the magic feather & chat about the weather...

[RonPrice]

I get so many posts in cyberspace, Steve, that I've written the following to save me reinventing the wheel. Go to this link below for my generalized response to literally 100s of incoming posts from week to week, FYI.-Ron
