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.
