I don't normally give any advance indication of when I'll be posting next but I've decided to make an exception in this rare case.
This is to say that in the space of a few weeks at most I hope to post an extended piece based upon a series of interviews with a veteran doo wop singer.
Because it's longer than normal, and aims to give a broad picture of his whole life, ordering the information has been trickier than usual. As when I was working with the comedian Freddie Davies on his autobiography, I'm discovering there's a limit to how effectively a longer narrative can be structured onscreen, so it's back to what I used to think of as The Pritt Stick Chronicles: printed sheets of the rough draft cut up into pieces and reassembled.
The process of writing has changed somewhat in recent months. In an earlier post, readable here, I described a pleasing morning routine which is now impossible. But I shall push on and hope that you, and my subject, will see the results soon.
