Wednesday Song

Out of the corner of our ears we hear her flamenco. Breaking cement & chopping at icy silence. Here on Earth there is no peace but we abound in silence. Oh Music- Girlish Woman Queenlike Child- strum at heaven in 3/4 time lull the sun to dream- bring us the moon & her choir of stars.

Music For Dummies

Musical illiteracy is no badge of honor But also no cause for shame. The other night a friend offered me mountains of sheet music I sheepishly told him I didn’t read He looked at me like I voted red Then he said …oh makes sense man You play like you don’t bother reading. What bird notates its own song? What bluejay studies the mockingbird’s riffs? Originally published at www.davidgarza.com.
