I used to write a different sort of blog several years ago. It was more of an editorial (or musing….. or brain droppings….etc.) and I published every Monday and Thursday for two and a half years. It was fun because I could just prattle on about a variety of stuff that interested me and I figured not too many people were reading anyway so…. But I realized after a while that I was not offering insight or thoughtful perspectives but just griping and whining. So I stopped. However this is kind of a slow news week so I thought I could stick my toe in the water again and see if I can locate my forgotten “prattle” for just one more week.

Creative Conversations began as an opportunity for me to just record conversations with my artsy-fartsy friends. I thought that because I found these conversations interesting others would too. I was wrong. Nobody cared. However the format has evolved and for the past 1 1/2 years I’ve been interviewing people in fine arts….both creators and people behind the scenes. I’ve been fortunate to meet many successful and yet not very well known artists. And I feel privileged to be able to present them to my small, but growing, audience.

The primary purpose of this blog is to be an extension of the podcast, but I’m still trying to figure out the mechanics of it all. I don’t think that the podcast is on as many platforms as I originally thought and the program I’m using for this blog is really clunky so I may have to ditch it for something better and more “elder” friendly. I very much appreciate you and your patience. Please don’t give up on me.

If you would like to support my efforts just give me your comments and suggestions and please recommend me to your friends. Thanks a bunch!
