i see you now discovering what music i grew up too..what sights and sounds i experienced..while you had conch, and johnny cake and the sounds of kemp road!
Is the cruelty in this comparison deliberate or am I instead to see the humor in it? What a lucky devil you are to have had all your life, such rhythms, such loveliness. I am envious. I am happy though to have stumbled upon them, upon this. Even though not live, I am enriched anyway. What wonderful things there must be in this world left still to discover. Just as troubles are endless so are joys, so are our joys.
