Always figger, "Well, Little Blues is one of the boys too." But if Bob Dylan wanted a book at my place of woik, I do believe my eyes would grow wide and my body would freeze up. Would still be telling myself, "Lindner, be cool. Be cool right now. 'Cause the Master doesn't dig paralysis too well."<BR/>Yeah, right. Still be saying that 10 minutes after he left.bluesman miike Lindnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730308789066832084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-71579148466780610572007-12-15T17:12:00.000-08:002007-12-15T17:12:00.000-08:00I certainly know what you mean about what it's lik...I certainly know what you mean about what it's like to meet an author I admire.

When Mindy told me she had dinner with Larry Niven I kept repeating "Larry Niven!" over and over. Mind you, I think you are every bit as good a writer as Larry Niven but I'm old enough that when I was young, you weren't publishing science fiction.Carmen Webster Buxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516485172937482027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695280310697378421.post-64965406966316417362007-12-14T13:47:00.000-08:002007-12-14T13:47:00.000-08:00I wouldn't call any author my "hero" either.

Not my cup of tea.Elverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10883756259775426088noreply@blogger.com
