I wonder what made you put up, ED. I'm so glad you did though. His enthusiasm is so infectious. Thanks.

Thank you Ed :)

"I wonder what made you put up, ED."

It just came to my attention, and as you say, it's infectious!

Especially stuff like this:

"Lone at night, when I was twelve years old, I looked at the planet Mars and I said, ‘Take me home!’ And the planet Mars took me home, and I never came back. So I’ve written every day in the last 75 years. I’ve never stopped writing."

Ed, really loved listening to that, thank you for sharing :)

[AB Editor]

No problem, I felt pretty good watching, so I thought I should pass it on.

Eternally grateful for that clip, Ed. Ray Bradbury is one of my life-long heros. Take just one of his sentences...'The seller of lightning rods in his storm colored suit.' Why this sentence in particular? Say it out loud, tap the table as you do so, and you'll find, as in many other instances in his works, it's been written to form a musical beat. I remember once reading a definitive Encyclopaedia of Modern Literature. Shamefully, only two science fiction authors were listed. One was A.E. Van Vogt, but the other, of course, was Ray Bradbury. Thanks again.
