I leave for a few days and here is Phil instructing the a lady at Florabama to knock on his camper door and she can "use him whenever she wants?" Phil you da man!!!! LOL just teasin. Hello all!
Long couple of weeks!
My girl was bit on the foot by a black widow/brown recluse we've determined last week, I was off work for that now Bryson has a 102 fever I'm off today again, so I've been "cleaning up around the house" no song pun intended..
MAB gotta question,
I went through some OLD poetry I'd found I wrote years back, and one in particular was basically a really good song in my estimation that just needed some cosmetic surgery.
I wrote it with a whole bunch of "the girl said" "the daddy said" and left the characters anonymous... But what is your opinion of the need, or lack thereof to give names to characters in songs? Sometimes it works as a filler, my gut says I need to leave it like it is but I wanted to pose the question to you, and the rest of you... Let me give you an example using a song you will recall and explain it a little better...
Here is basically the style I HAVE of a great opening line on a classic song....
"How much do I owe you, said the mother to her son...."
Instead of...
"How much do I owe you, said miss Tucker, to young Paul..."
I feel like giving the characters names in that scenario, would not allow the listener quite the chance to put themselves in the shoes of the song if you will.
Can names sometimes, take away from leaving it a little vague? What's in a name MAB???
