* LIFETIME POEMS, SONGS AND OTHER WRITINGS by Richard Kent Streeter. "A lifetime of my poems and songs are in this book. The sincere. The cynical. The mushy. The ridiculous. And since life is so short, it is a little book."
____ Poems include award winners There Ain't No Death, I Swear There Ain't and The Path of Life That Will Be Mine. Also, We All Have Our Ways, I Cannot Live For The Moment and Crossing The Coahulla To Prater's Mill. Some make you want to read stories and other poems to get more. For instance, How Much Land Does One Man Need? refers to a Leo Tolstoy story. Creation's Secrets is an example of what he thinks he knows about the mostly unknowable.
____ Songs include, Walkin' Behind An Old Walkin' Plow (recorded by bluegrass music professional Gary Waldrep on "Droppin' The Thumb!" and by Richard Kent Streeter on "Heroes, Outlaws & Kinfolk"); The Death of Will Geiwitz (railroader uncle killed in 1882); The Ballad of 'Deaf Charley' Hanks (distant cousin-outlaw rode with Kid Curry); Texas and the General (Northern Version to Glenn Fletcher's popular song about "The Great Locomotive Chase" through northern Georgia in 1862); Why Did Those Airplanes Kill? (about 9-11-01).
____ Other Writings include Foundations: An American Reading written in 1957; Little Gabbi and Recollections of Herr Nocon (former Nazi soldier) written in 1962 while a soldier in Germany, and The Legend of Charles Prater.
