A Reflection…

[Hank]

Yesterday I was in a reflective mood, today was approaching.

So I decided to play a bunch of songs and choose one of the Ramuda and one song that go together well.

Sooo….Then I decided to ride the full Ramuda and match each one to a song….

Matches thus far :

The “Tree”/Euro OM : “Sweet Melissa”

The Otis Taylor H-13 Madi/Italian :  “St. James Infirmary ”

Three more to work out today……My Revelation/reflection ?? ?

“I’m Right Where I’m Supposed To Be “…..

[Chrisakadigdog]

Reminds me of an old saying “be here know”. Baba  Ram Das”.  Acceptance of our ability’s or the lack there of. is a freeing feeling..    Strumming my six string… Have fun Hank.

Last night, spent 4+ hours on the OM during the weekly work jam.  Here’s what I can remember of what we played.  People kept calling tunes and we kept going for it one after the other.  Covered a fair bit of ground and spent a lot of time laughing about “we played this after that?”

Yesterday is behind….

Well the THE MARTIN….Matched with : Croce, Goodman, Buffett, The Byrds.

I guess 27 years of aged EIR/Sitka , thousands of hours of playing/holding/traveling……….makes for an old friend who has a great voice…..a voice that brings back lots of memories,

Reflections /Revelations : I have a fine Ramuda of guitars in both voice and  visual……… and I’m starting to get the hang of  playing them……I can begin to bring out their individuality.

REALIZATION : I still have so much to learn…….compared to Y’All.

Seems like all y’all could easily teach me many a thing  –

The feeling of having a lot to learn never goes away.

It’s the travel not the destination that makes us.
