The following is a glossary of contents chronicling the lyrical literary works of American artist, Larry Curtis Spurlock.
 

.It must be, immediately, pointed out that all these pieces are written sans upper case and with minimal punctuation. (Author’s preference)

The 1st piece (hope with dope) was written in 1971 in the Kitchen of 104 W. Concord Court in Sterling, Virginia. The most recent; piece # 291 (stepping across sanctuary's threshold) was penned just last week.

This Blog has, previously, published 52 of these works. Tuesdays had been desiginated amateur lyricist day while better known published pieces by other artists appeared on Thursdays. In the coming weeks, more of ‘best of’ will appear for your viewing pleasure.

Be aware that these lyrics are stationed in categories as if they were songs on albums / CDs. Each volume illustrates several chapters. Each chapter depicts several albums / CDs.

Each album / CD will present lyrical Pieces intended for musical arrangement

As artistic note, the first few chapters are inadequate in composition and can be considered merely as practice.

.There are two lyrical Scores in this collection written for Stage Plays.

They are: Volume I – Chapter 7 entitled baby owl blues

and Volume IV – Chapter 16 entitled baby baby: the princess flower.

.Soon, this Blog will begin a 16 week odyssey publishing the works of baby baby: the princess flower.

And soonthereafter, baby owl blues.
.

.Thank you, very kindly.

I am sincerely
