Introduction: I was drawn to Kurt Vonnegut's outlook and writing style when I read TIME QUAKE, SLAPSTICK, BKFST OF CHAMP, &recently MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY, CAT'S CRADLE. He evokes laughter, sometimes tears, about the realities & absurdities of life. Martha (Marty)

“ We agreed that even only two people can make a difference by getting together in appreciation of Kurt Vonnegut. I would like to extend a sincere invitation to all you members and your friends to join into the messsage boards so that I can "feel your pulse" and hear your thoughts and impressions on how Vonnegut's or ANY author's books DO make a difference in your life. And "to go with us" to explore someone whose message remains HOT today. And funny too, of course! very funny! it hits the funny bone at the least expected moments! ”

The New York Composers Meetup Group

“ Glad I joined. Suggestions about my continuing to compose are stimulating me to think of ideas for piano pieces for my piano students to hear or even some easy enough for them to play. Mostly, this meetup is fun for me and the other members, too. ”
