Friday postscript

I finally faced the music today.

After I got the new CDs in the mail, I decided it was time.

Two or three of the tunes on "The Postman Delivers" grabbed my attention initially. After a second and third hearing, some feel like a comfortable pair of shoes: well-broken in and loved. I find irony in the order of the songs on the CD. Or maybe it is another message. Who knows. "Illegal Smile" is No. 13. A number special to me.

Afterward, I made myself listen to others I have. I could not face them before. The MP3s sat on my desktop waiting for me. Some days begging, some days silent.

The music and your voice brought me joy and tears.

You would be proud of your brothers. Just sayin'.

Later, dude.
