Paging Barnesfoto:
Re: “Your Quote:”
“As usual, Tpone's words fired up the projector in my mind, and played a scratchy and slightly faded but beautiful film.”
The ‘projector’ metaphor was simply, excellent. Right on the mark!
(I will never plagiarize it, but I will use it and give credit to ”Barnesfoto”! Unless I have to pay a 'royalty!)
Even more so, is your mention of McClellan Ave. Why? Because I believe that the vast majority of this Forum have had their own neighborhood venues, where a variety of nebulous memories still exist. Most of them trying to get back on stage, front and center and in the spotlight, if only for a few minutes,not
only to tantalize, but actually materialize, as pleasures, never forgotten.

Tpone,
I think that it's only fair that you pay me royalties, but not until the year 2025.
Your words take me to the place (the exotique East Side) and the time. (before mine). The faces are fuzzy, but they are real. The colors are not Kodachrome vivid, nor can I make out the conversations, but I am there, watching it all, from a porch on McClellan Ave.
You take us there, sir.
That's what great writers do.

Barnesfoto - if you're having Tpone pay you royalties for using that phrase, you'll have to bill me for using it too!
Your phrase explains the way I feel when I read his writings too. He just takes us there, yes he does! |
