I came across a song Thursday evening that I haven’t heard in years. A local musician put on a show last night from his attic and played it… and he played it well.
I went back and listened to the original recording that came out about forty years ago. Then I listened to the singer/songwriter play it throughout the years.
The magic of YouTube.
Then I decided to write a lyric from the song on the Morning Chalkboard.
Just another example of how music triggers memories. I thought of memories from forty years ago when I heard this song last night, but now it has a connection to the end of September in twenty-twenty-three…
The song has the same words today as it did when I was a senior in high school. I heard those words when I was seventeen, but the lyrics have more meaning now that I’m in my fifties. All songs are like that.
They make a memory to cling to and then grow with you through the years.
Tonight is the Harvest Full Moon. It is the end of the month and the end of the third quarter.
The beginning of October has a forecast similar to the end of August.
So take it while you can.
