John Cheever

I was visited by the ghost of the author John Cheever. He’s a great hummer. He can hum any song, and it sounds like it’s backed by an orchestra.

In a break between songs, I asked the ghost of John Cheever what he felt was the secret to great writing. He said scotch and momentum.

I showed the ghost of John Cheever some of my Better Late Than Dead blog posts. He felt they displayed whimsy. They I showed him my ability to whip a Frisbee up in the air around a tree and then back to my waiting hands. He said that showed dexterity and co-dependency.

Then the ghost of John Cheever hummed My Sharona. I recorded it and played it back after he left. It sounded no different than the recorded version by the Knack!
