Hello, World!

Four generations of William Edward Pierce’s. Each man, marvelously talented in some unrecognized way beyond a small circle of friends, relatives and mothers. All four arrived. Two took their leave. But traces of artistic talent must remain. As the fourth, and last WEP of this clan, I have bread-crumbed my trail with music (MediaLineRoad.com), words, tapes, musical instruments, gadgets, plant life and a new generation of non-WE Pierce artists to follow.

I wish I knew more about the first two WEPs. Nearly 60 years on, I still have lots of work to do to know #3. If only so I can learn more about myself (quite selfishly). I wish I knew more about what they thought. What they feared. What made them smile. What made them so angry!

Of course, that’s my experience. My children and my children’s children might ask the same questions about me someday. So, let me help them along.

Words can provide clues. This blog can provide words. I’ll start with “Hello.”
