Find Your Song Robert E McGill

FIND YOUR SONG is a ten-layer cake of varied tastes: Love songs, sweet and sour, bitter alcoholic rhapsodies, all the mild/wild flavors of Cowboy Poetry and Country Western Lyrics. Country's conceived in sin and born in love; Raised up in raucous bars and sordid rooms. Country sings the good and bad we're made of. It's the truths that will be carved onto our tombs. Here are zesty savors of Praise, Patriotism and Protest, Legends and Lullabies. a Sampler of Wild West Drama, Appalachian Opera and Silly Gimmick Songs. Be prepared for a hint of Bubba Shakespeare's wisdom as well. FROM THE EARLY REVIEWS"McGill's poems are perhaps best appreciated as though a stranger were to take the bar stool next to you and start telling stories, some historical, some autobiographical, but all undeniably earnest and heart-felt. Image Merle Haggard had somehow discovered e.e.cummings." Todd Blackwell"The poems often reflect the frailty of the human spirit; but, at their core, they reflect resilience and our hunger for happiness and forgiveness." Deborah Bruynell"Billowing with truth, warmth, guts and grit." "CRAZY MAZIE" makes me want to put on my cowboy boots, then my dancing shoes... and then take them off!" Courtney Drumm"I LOVE this poem!!! THE BALLAD OF DAFT DANNY is luxuriously evocative of a place and time the reader will never know, a world of warmth, love and humor." Tony Dobrowalski
