Cinnamon Boy

Text and voice: Elouise Oyzon Music: John Oyzon cinnamonboy Someone said, “Tell me a story.” And I did. Sentence at a time in a chat window. I saved the story as post. There was a point where I tried my hand at audio posts. My brother, John (aka Beau) took my voice and made music with it. It is sweet. I think I will take his music and my voice …

Dear Itzel

I think you are the only one who comes here. I am glad you do. Oh! I am trying to get old blog posts moved here. Found comments from you, and Bridget, and Elsie, and Liz, and my family, and…and…and… This used to be a happenin’ space. I should do something about that. đŸ™‚
