Testify
No poetry today, well not from me, anyway. But I invite you to listen to this song from one of my favorite artists. I couldn’t find the original version anywhere, but this acoustic version is just as good.
I’m going to play this someday. I gave up on the guitar many years ago, but I still have one. Two actually. I know which one I’ll be using to play this. Hold me to it.

In all honesty, I’m just curious how the comment will look, lol.
November 7th, 2009 |
ok, deal!

HA, nobody wants that! How about I learn the drums or dance in the background?

I’ll write if you sing?

I was just thinking…now you will need to try your hand at lyrics to go with your melodies! I’m excited for us!

LOL I’m proud of you too – and impressed! You be as unbearable as you need to be – I can bear it!

First lesson next Wednesday night:) Gosh I’m so proud of myself for just setting up the darn time…I’ll probably be unbearable next week:) LOL

Oh! You didn’t make me sad!!! I’m just wired very expressively! I’ve been told my whole life I should’ve been born in Italy. And actually get asked on a regular basis what country I’m from.
. Those words are just exactly what I was feeling. A GOOD release!
Loved it…..hadn’t heard it in YEARS, and I’ve never heard that slower version, which makes it all the more poignant for me! Cheers and Namaste.

Glad you liked it too, Shraddha!
November 6th, 2009 |

Thanks Falc! Please bug me:)
Yes, have the books, just got a teacher this morning. I’m psyched:)

Have you started lessons or looked for a teacher? Or even picked up one of those teaching things that I’ve seen in commercials? How fun to learn something new! I’ll hold your feet to the fire, young lady.

Well darn it, I didn’t mean to make you sad:(
But, soul cleansing is definitely necessary, so if it helped with that I’m glad

Well hell. I sat here and bawled like a baby. Haven’t heard that song in forever and guess I’ve been holding a lot of ‘stuff’ in today….so….thanks?….I obviously needed that! She’s amazing and so’s that song. Cheers and Namaste.

Well….you do have some time on your hands now…..you could always pick it up again if you still have one laying around.
If not-well there’s always air guitar

I remember M.E.! I haven’t seen her in years. And yet one more thing we have in common, D: I gave up on the guitar years ago too (out of high school).
Someday I’ll play an instrument. Right after I get the movie option on my second book. *Sigh*
November 4th, 2009 |
Of course you are!
And so lucky to have a musician in your family. My mother’s side of the family has lots of musicians, and my brother can play almost any instument–all self taught. I have some catching up to do!
I Melissa, especially her early stuff. I saw her at West Virginia University in a very small auditorium years ago and it was incredible. I’ve always loved this song, and I’m determined to play it. Rock on;)

Longtime Melissa fan here. The guitar makes me smile. Josh is self taught and it is often a backdrop at our house. Poetry and music, you go girl!
