Hope you had a lovely birthday, Jim. xo
here is a short homemade song i came up when sitting on the front deck this morning. I saw the silhouette of a bird hopping on a tree far away, and the motor of a ship or car could be heard (we live very near a bay)….It was otherwise super quiet and still and I thought I would write a little song. (it is NOT Sunday today but in my song it IS)
Words:
a bird on a tree... it resembles a rat scuttling along the branch.
silhouettes on a Sunday morning.
the sky is like an underpainting.
the motor humming from my neighbour's yard.
the siren of an ambulance.
someone singing Happy Birthday!
as the bells are ringing in the air.
I am having a kick out of this little plastic (toy) uke that I painted. it actually stays in tune (almost). the cardboard I glued on gets in the way of the finger strumming or picking but i am getting used to it now. :--D
