Poor Richard's Son [Jeff Massey]
Within my writing process lies the heart of musical, literary, cultural, philosophical, emotional & historical influences. These shape who, what & why I write while INFORMING the manner in which words reflect the reality expressed from mind to heart to pen onto paper...Basically, I am a failed playwright at heart...move over Bard...
