a tale of tails, tenacity, and tedium, as told by me, usually barefoot and bellowing

Tuesday

Alvarez
Cort
Fender
Washburn
Marshall
                             Unfamiliar words

Love of music
And persistence
Grew the talent
Through fingers
From the heart
                              No lessons

So many directions
A young man
Can g-r-o-w
He shaves
And plays
                              Football and music

Grateful
For goodness
Talent
Dedication
Andrew
                             And family
                             Love 'em all.

Strains from Clapton
Drift
From
A Washburn twelve string
Not a chord missed

                               I'm in heaven.

Lovely, I know that I sit and listen when Johnny Cash is in the room above my head at night. I do love the sound of a 12 string.
Lovely poetry.

Sometimes we make it hard on ourselves by not seeing the wood for the trees. Beauty is all around us, all we have to to do is slow down, look and listen.

Long ago I lived in a commune with a young man who woke us every morning by playing his guitar. There never was a sweeter way to wake up or fall asleep, in my mind I can still hear him and watch him play.

Andrew has graced your house with the same kind of talent, and music such as this brings such wonderful healing to the heart!

Thank you for the lovely poem for Two Shoes Tuesday, it brought back sweet memories!

Andrew's music is in his heart and reaches deep into his soul - those that bloom on their own go a long long way in life - you've taught him from your heart about life and he discovered a love for music and pursued that. I hope I get to hear him play someday. Hello to everyone and hugz to Marcy. I think Andrew has certainly struck a chord in all of us to hear him play. As we say in the Maritimes, Let er rip son :)

Very nice poem!

You definitely are. Isn't being a grandma the best? And it's wonderful to watch their talents grow.
