Talking up "Accents"

   I had the occasion today to talk with some young people about Frank Zappa. After I told them about the framed autograph, I mentioned the poem I wrote about meeting him. Of course I mentioned "Accents" on Amazon KDP

But at least in the UK, one can go to a bookstore or other designated site, order the book, and it will be made available Print-on-Demand.

Interesting Movie About Artistic Friends

   19th Century France literally pulsed with creative endeavor in all of the arts. Cézanne et moi was filmed last year; I watched it toda
