Where's an Errol Flynn movie when you need one? 🤔 🏴‍☠️ ⚓ #Swashbuckler #SymphonicMusic #NewMusic #Orchestra #Composer #Pirates #TonePoem #Musicengraving

Original setting circa mid-1990s (voice/piano). Recent arrangement for chamber orchestra. #wbyeats #jeremycavaterra #poetry #composer #newmusic #brownpenny #chamberorchestra #songsetting

Et tu, BBC? Why is it so hard for native English speakers to conjugate monosyllabic verbs correctly?

Dear Publishers, Please stop with this silly trend of black book covers with floral/decorative side borders and Ye Fancy Olde Ice Cream Shoppe title font. You're flooding the market with books that look identical. You really do have a choice to be original; not every bandwagon is worth jumping on.

All you dinglebunnies who feel the need to put "No DMs" in your account bio, please show us on the boomer doll where the DM hurt you.

IMO this image of Rod Serling giving it to you straight should replace the tired & overworked Rockwell "Freedom of Speech" cliché for random pronouncements. If anything, our current timeline is much more like a Twilight Zone script, even if it's one Rod would've rejected for being too on the nose. 🎯

🎧 📚 Continuing my important cultural work of composing title scores for old books. 😏 (Yeah, I know this was also a movie... it ain't the same music.) P.S. Very belated happy birthday Vincent Price. #bookscoring #gothichorror #ronaldbassett #vincentprice #witchfindergeneral #composer #artsoundtrack

"I don’t say she murdered him, Lavinia. I merely observe that no man goes from robust to commemorative quite that quickly without assistance." "And did you notice the widow wore navy?" "At breakfast!" "Exactly, Eudora. A woman in navy before noon is either bereaved or plotting unpleasantness."

As a person who writes and loves words, I'm tired of people misusing the word factoid. Contrary to popular notion, it doesn't mean a small or trivial fact; it means something that resembles a fact but isn't one (humanoid is to human what factoid is to fact). Fun fact: Norman Mailer coined the term.

Some eldritch ficus roots in my neighborhood.

Happy birthday, old friend 💔

Agatha Christie needed me to be her editor. Mishaps from The Moving Finger: (1) You’ve got to take life slowly and easily, the tempo is marked Legato. (2) As we were finishing, two excited little boys rushed in and were introduced, Mrs. Symmington beaming with maternal pride, as was their father.

I wish there were a way to filter out certain images from my feed. It's getting really irritating to see Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" used every fifth post for the most picayune nonsense. Can people please try to be just a little more original?

🎧 📚 As you may know, from time to time I score old paperback covers (because no one told me I couldn’t!). Another installment in this utterly unnecessary (and fun) project. 🎼 #soundtrack #peplum #swordandsandal #ralphgraves #cavaterra #composer #cinemusic #scoredcovers #losteagles #ancientrome

This is strangely sad. 😢 Farewell, Jeeves... www.ask.com

This timeline is like a Twilight Zone script that Rod Serling would have rejected for being too on the nose. 😩

Oh, the joy and agony of REVISION! 😩 The thrill of deadheading needless words and watching the sentence bloom; the misery of tunneling for them without collapsing the whole mine. And the dogged hunt for the single strong word to replace ten weak ones. To have revised is bliss. To revise is hell.

R.I.P. Robert Duvall (1931–2026). I found this on Wikipedia: > Mareen Duvall (1625–1694) was a French Huguenot and an early American settler... His notable descendants include Harry S. Truman, Barack Obama, Dick Cheney, Wallis Simpson, Warren Buffett, and Robert Duvall. < How weird is that??? 😮

Petition to verb Mercator (named for Gerardus Mercator): to mercate = to distort scale or importance until the ignorant nod. E.g., “That map mercates Greenland.” “Those stats have been subject to mercation.” “My résumé? Lightly mercated.” Etc.
