Hello Darkness My old Friend

The very first album I purchased was Simon and Garfunkels – Bookends

I miss you Russ – we were suppose to get old together

Bookends Theme (1:23)
P. Simon, 1968

Time it was, and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories; They're all that's left you

I will tell you this one small song is the reason I take pictures everyday

This song is in my journal byline and I know every word like it was part of my soul

this is how I feel pretty much everyday

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

NO HUGS ..

Just saying music speaks to me

.. Let’s jump forward . I am trying to tell you something about my life

Trust me Sister Moon and Brother Sun – I have been to that place seeking truth

I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m.
To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board
Twice as cloudy as Id been the night before
And I went in seeking clarity. ( I am an alcoholic )

Being there back in the day and having context it’s hard to say how hard we were driven

I am just saying with no disrespect to you who are much younger than old man rP

Music is such my life blood - [link] –

Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burning coal
Pouring off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you
Tangled up in blue

We were so hip in the 80’s

Folk music cuts the mustard
