philnicHi Jacob. Mr Bradbury doesn't read these messages personally, so if you want to contact him you will have to write via his publishers:
Ray Bradbury
c/o Author Mail, 11th Floor
HarperCollins Publishers
10 East 53rd Street
New York, NY 10022
Please bear in mind that Ray is a busy man, and is 91 years old, so you shouldn't expect an instant reply.

Big PappaDear Sir(Phil),
Thank you for your response, I am not expecting an instant response....especially recognizing on his home page his birth-date of 91yrs.ago! I can only hope he inspired his children or grandchildren to continue his legacy of writing. With help from my older brother, who writes alot of fictional poetry & short-stories;"for himself"i have been able to complete my poem & diary entry.The MOST difficult is to compose/burn onto CD a soundtrack of various types of music, that pertains the the theme of the novel...."that's where I am stumped!!

dandelionOne of his children, Bettina F. Bradbury, was a writer on four soap operas. Don't know about the other three.
As for music, one of the Harry Potter films had a choir singing a song based on the same Shakespeare passage as the Bradbury title. Maybe you could start with that.
