The Parting Glass

[learnteach]

I'm a lucky man. I have many friends of excellent quality. Some have gone from here, and there's many I have yet to meet and make friends.

Sometimes I look forward, and sometimes I look back, and sometimes I just look around. Better than looking down all the time. Right now lots of family stuff is washing around, and changes in the air--nothing real yet--and other changes desired or not. Persevering is the main key.

Speaking of in-key friends, one who'se gone I've been reminded of the last three weekends--first by dancing at a venue she used to play at with a relative of hers, then by meeting a young fun fiddler who had a slight air of hers (she's really very different, in many ways, but there was a sparkle in her eye) and finally by some foodie moments recently, related to motorcycle riding. Really, it's amazing that Leigh Ann hasn't been in my mind more. She was a catalyst for me to many adventures and art, and I was an inspiration to her and a doorway to a degree.

But anyway, some of her music's back on the web. Go check it out, it's fun:

I'm going to go raise a parting glass to her right now--right after I finish this new salsa recipe I'm testing, and check for tire prices for the bike.

I knew LAH quite well, actually. We've probably got hundreds of ties...sbroglii, etc.

Stopped leaking, pressure on cables OK, no obvious signs. Pressure on wallet bad right now. Perhaps later...
