New ditties, Scandal and Sailing
Scandal and Sailing
Posted lyrics to two new little ditties, Old Turner Left and No-Wind Summer. The first developed from who-knows-where? on the drive to work this week. Absolutely nothing autobiographical, just started out as a vague word-play in my head (turn-er left, get it?).
The second is very much autobiographical. Sailing on Lake Livingston can be terrific in the fall, scary in the spring, cold enough to avoid it most of the winter, and absolutely maddening in the summer. I woke up with the verse in the middle of the night, and the chorus just seemed the natural reply. More than anything, I think it was a prayer for the last race day of the fall, which turned out with a very nice breeze, thank you.
May never develop the music for either of these that much, just a couple of those fun little things that pop up once in awhile.
