Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

I learned Phil Everly died recently.  I immediately played the anthology I had of The Everly Brothers–a best of–“Looking Back.”  It is twenty cuts and is the best collection I ever heard of them.  In the eighties they reformed and came out with at least two albums.  I can comment on the first, which was superb and had Albert Lee playing on it and was produced by Dave Edwards.  “On The Wings Of A Nightingale” was expressly written for them by Paul McCartney in two part harmony.  The album which came out was in no way dated.  “Asleep” which closes the album is absolutely stunning.  The whole album is fresh and worth hearing.  I have no idea whether it is available on CD.  By all means if it is, get it.  You can’t go wrong.  When you hear them sing, it is hard to separate their voices.  They blended so perfectly.

I do not want to tell you

Sometimes I want

To surprise you,

Greet you eagerly

Maybe engulf you

Swallowing you whole

Other times

I just want

To let you know

I am thinking

Of it

And then forget

And be surprised

Other times

It will be

Furthest from

My mind

And you will

Slowly kindle me

And the roller coaster

Will go out

Of control

And I will fall out

Off the edge

And in the peace

And I will slumber

No more

Asleep

I love walking outside just before dawn.  The birds are alive in song.  There is an anticipation of the next day.  There is the sense of the mysterious.  There is so much in that hour or two I just can’t wait for the day to start and to see what the next day will bring.  For a long time I was usually asleep at those hours.  I was missing so much.  Even though it is still dark the day lightens up gradually.  It is flush with anticipation and mystery.  I love predawn.
