APRIL 7, 2018
Struggling to make a piece set in 1969 work, wanting to have it shine a light on what Canada/Toronto was like at the time, not able to pull it off, frustrating me. But a quote by George Bernard Shaw comes to me: "Never write something unless the not writing of it is a positive nuisance" reverberates for me. And this indeed has been a nuisance. Laying down in the afternoon, failing to fall asleep, I then considered inserting it into the context of a story series I've been thinking about, focusing on some middle aged bar-circuit musicians looking back on their lives, and it makes sense. Change 1969 to 1981, and it all falls into place. I've been working on it all day now...
