February already...

Here's the latest from my quite cool, cordless keyboard!

DOUGLAS CORNER

I want to go to Douglas Corner

 In Nashville to see a show

But I doubt if I will go

It’d be cool to hear the guitars on the stage

Thinking I might like to get up there too

And I would if I knew

The right person to talk to

But I doubt if I will

I was there once

And saw them pass around the guitar

Some held it for a longer time than others

Different voices scraped across the strings

I’d like to say it brings back memories

But I’m not sure what it brings

Before things got started

I was standing in the parking lot

Maybe kicking around a stone

Maybe kicking around an idea

And then I locked the door to the

Rental car and felt for the cash

In my pockets because

I was thinking about the beer

Inside I found a seat

A better seat than I expected

And then the beer was brought

 To me in my seat   

I like the moment when

The fingers touch the strings

And the bottle touches my lips

But I’m not next door to

Douglas Corner

I’m not just down the street

In my distance the music is weak

Even with the microphone

I don’t hear anyone speak

And my wheels have all been tucked away

But I’d stand in the parking lot

If I could

Down at Douglas Corner

In Nashville to see a show
