Fool

They were throwing out four crates of vinyl two thirds classical one third jazz-

 

Next week I spotted a turntable and amplifier and thought, that\'s a must have!

 

I rent an old chook shed 100mtrs long full from one end to the other with things from decades gone...

 

They think I am a horder and that may be true but it\'s full of dreams and memories and today one came true-

 

I hooked up turntable and amp to the old analogue speakers my wife swapped for a sound bar-

 

A fiddle here 

A jiggle there 

Wola!

Music in the air...

 

Beethoven, Mozart, Benny Goodman and his crew, Louise Armstrong, Count Basie, just to name a few...

 

I feel blessed in so many ways-

Stopped by the roadside today to buy some fruit-

The seller was Syrian only been in this country a short time-

His truck had a flat battery-

A call from the divine...

 

Took a moment but we got his truck to go...

Gave me a box of very nice fruit, 

Wouldn\'t take no.

 

Back in the shed it\'s hot out side but I am in the cool...

 

Grateful for everything-

 

This silly old fool.

 

Putting on the records 

The sound blew me away 

Sittin\' back with a smoke and a beer

Thankin\' the Lord for another day.
