Oh what to do
when someone
cheats on you
Oh what to say
that even though –
you want them to stay
And how do you choose
how you want to lose –
you know he knows
he’s won –
and he’s already started
and nowhere
near
done

Not many readers know this about me…..
There’s something about me that I don’t share much with my readers. Besides singing covers in a band called The Ready Groovers Band, I also write original songs with one of my very accomplished guitar playing members.
Something amazing happens up there on stage. Not every time we play, but sometimes, and it only lasts for the song, sometimes only part of a song, but a bubble seems to surround us. A bubble of energy. A buzzing, heightened feeling of a musical euphoria. It’s harmonic bliss – brief but so fulfilling!
We rehearse every Wednesday and gig every Friday, at this stage. I write music on Mondays and practice everything by myself in between.
Music has been my invisible hug, my permanent sounding board, the never-ending tissue, and my joy!
Welcome to my musical journey – even though I’ve been on it for 30-plus years!
Pass it forward:
My Harry – Goodbye…
I know you’re
With Mum, now
But I miss you
All the same
I miss your constant
meow
And calling out
Your name
I miss you, My Harry
Things are just
Not the same
You’re not lieing
upside down
On the driveway
Or being a
Major pain
I don’t fall over you,
Anymore
And the fridge hasn’t
Been scratched
In a week
I miss stroking
your old body
That once was young
And sleek
I miss your sweet face,
My Harry –
Your cookie-making paws
Your teapot curled
fluffy tail
And everything and more…

In memory of one of the coolest cats I’ve had the pleasure of sharing a fraction of my lifetime with, but all of his. I wasn’t ready to let him go. I have a massive empty space I don’t know how to fill right now.
