YES - @owasco is a pro at eamless prose and choosing exactly the right word.
Precise. No excess verbiage. Prose that is pleasing to the ear!
With so many writers, even published, even NYT best selling authors, I find prose that rolls like a square wheel. It just grates on my ears. These are native English speakers, too.
Poets write the best prose. And maybe musicians -- those who hear the cadence, the rhythm, those who may think to read their words out loud (for only themselves to endure!) - #ReadingOutLoud is a painful tool but great for making you see if your prose is clumsy or full of words that could pruned out.
Excellent commentary, @mgaft1, on an excellent story!
I love, love, love the true-life story of the Roseland Ballroom! Thanks for including the history, @owasco!
