Subject: RE: BS: Literary challenge..go for it!!
Let me tell ya, pal, that it should be no surpirse to you that with my vivid imagination and way with words, I could EASILY write short stories here or anywhere else.

In college, I took short story and creative writing classes virtually every semester because it was so easy.

You just don't get it. I just don't want to do that here. It has nothing to do with can't doing it, I just have no need to express myself this way here, or worse yet, have a good idea stolen.

If you need to know so much about my artistic talents, realize that I play guitar, banjo, and bass very proficiently for 40 years. I have quite a fine singing voice, and currently playing quite regularly as a soloist at a club, and play in many group situations in a very large and thriving bluegrass community. I am a country music historian and am very well read and knowledgable about the genre.

Because I choose not to write a paragraph or two of impromptu fiction to satisfy my own ego is really something I find amazing that someone can harp on.
