About Me
My name is Albert Friedman (you can call me Al).
Nothing dramatic about my life. A little of this, a little of that. Ordinary from most points of view.
I've always participated in music in some fashion; as a pop/rock musician into my 30's. and now, composing and recording in my home studio, strickly for my own gratification.
Poetry is rather new in my life. I am unfamiliar with the old greats, and virtually all contemporary poets. I confess this with neither shame nor pride.
I like writing more than I ever imagined I would, or could. Hopefully, I will be able to continue for the rest of my life. And... I enjoy your company!
Location: upstate New York USA, USA
