Song of Ron by Ronald Steven Kaplan

Song of Ron Song of Ron is an artifact of songs I had written between 1976-1983, commemorated as this book of poetry entitled Song of Ron. It can be said that all songs are love songs… At least that was what I thought when listening to the radio going through what was once known as a 'break-up'. And in those songs were tales of found love and lost love as an ever present theme across cultures and genres. It was then that I turned off the radio and began to learn to play the guitar and write my own songs. So when I look at this collection of my songs I can see that trend. In the beginning it was about love lost, love celebrated, and love sought. And as my mind expanded beyond the world of feelings I began to write on issues, and ideas, and eventually humor, with humanity at heart, in the process of being human. Songs are poems set to music… Ronald Steven Kaplan
