    About this ebook

    This book is a slim volume of songs and poems that I composed between 1978 and 2013, give or take.

    I am not sure when I began it or when I put the final touches to it, but the songs and the poems contained herein have been my most constant companions in many a dark and lonely hour.

    D.S. Ross

    To begin, I have no credentials. I am not famous, nor have I ever known anyone who was more than notorious. Neither am I educated; it took me five years to achieve a two-year degree. I still believe that had I shown a bit more hustle, I should have done it in three. I came to secondary education after a four-year hitch in the Marine Corps and years of manual labor. In other words, I was at a point in my life when the thought of more school had a certain charm. It was the first and only time, by the way, that I felt that way. So I write, therefore, without credential or qualification. But I have experience; and that counts for something.
