The phone rang. I answered it and to my surprise, the caller identified herself as Arianna Huffington, the owner and publisher of HuffPo. We talked for a minute or two and then she told me the reason for her call. She invited us to become contributors to her paper. I asked her what she would like us to do, and she replied that she would like us to write a column on emerging artists. I loved the idea and readily agreed. That was a few years ago now. We worked for the HuffPo for 3 years loving every moment we had interviewing musical artists such as Janis Ian, Kevin Lucas, Eric Clapton, Rowan Atkinson, Muriel Anderson, and many more great musicians.
