Conversations with Mr. Hooker Volume Two Don Hooker

Volume two has sections on Family and Friends, Nature, and God. The end will be a catch all of works that are fun and hopefully thought provoking assorted subjects. In these times you cannot talk about nature or God without entering some kind of political discussion and you will find I am a Christian who does not trust the churches of today. As far as nature goes like many I am appalled at the destruction of our earth that is taking place after so much good was done to try and restore damaged areas. Living in the Columbia Gorge nature and the great works of God abound and are a constant inspiration. This volume will have the first of the works that could possibly be put to music. The third volume will have a section for lyrics and subject matter will varied. You may notice that I use no punctuation in my works; it is just my style of writing. We spend so much time worrying about spelling and punctuation and proper this and that I do not feel creative when writing like that. I write these out and then for the most part they are gone for me, I cannot hold work done in my head as there is so many more in various stages of composition inside my brain. As I write some of the works rip feelings out of me that I did not realize were there. As I was formatting this second book a couple of these had me in tears again while I was editing them. Volume three is in the works but at this moment the format will be different more across the board as opposed to specific subjects. I am finding more and more of my works is being written as songs at least in my head. Be interesting to see how this sorts out. I am guessing that by August there will be enough to release Volume three.
