[stylist] What comes first?...response to response

[Robert Newman]

When I write I need to have it to be very, very quiet. I am too easily
distracted. Also, I find that I do better if I am in a small enclosed space.
Early mornings like 3 or 4 or 5 is most desirable.

I really appreciate listening to my music, off of the internet so no
commercials* at all!  and no announcing.  most often that means western,
cowboy, music, but sometimes it ranges from Doo Wop to Zappa, or old jazz
ballads.

I find the music seems to help me to "stay real" as  another generation
would put it.  relaxing is helpful.

you can keep the heavy metal.
