A must read about Guy and Townes.

Water gets way too fast at the end of your stream. More funerals than parties.

Guy sings To Live Is To Fly. One of Townes classics.

Matinee 
    Patrick Phillips

After the biopsy,
after the bonescan,
after the consult and the crying,

for a few hours no one could find them,
not even my sister,
because it turns out

they’d gone to the movies.
Something tragic was playing,
something epic,

and so they went to the comedy
with their popcorn
and their cokes—

the old wife whispering everything twice,
the old husband
cupping a palm to his ear,

as the late sun lit up an orchard
behind the strip mall,
and they sat in the dark holding hands.

*****************************************************************

Take your songwriting way out on the limb.

Branch out; do something crazy.

Be prepared to fall.

Be prepared to succeed.

Smile.

Both results are fun.

Fun with animal pictures.
Who needs TV?

I'm fine! Quit watching me. 

Here comes Mom. Remember it's our little secret.
She doesn't have to know everything.

We won't come home late again, Mom. We didn't know boys would be there.

Marco.....polo.

Buck Ram was a great songwriter.
