Just me without movies
“Don’t get me wrong. I do enjoy movies. Well, sometimes. But, it is important to realize when it is essential to withdraw from a threatening situation. Why not leave when the storyteller has imposed a perspective that is offensive to your sensibilities and integrity-when there is little insight to be offered no matter how magnetic and glamorous its stars and scenery may appear. ” SRB

Wandering mind blues
Once I had a sweetheart (roughly interpreted)
This traditional song of which I only play guitar was most memorably played and sung by Bert Jansch on his record album entitled “Rosemary Lane”.

My improvised version is imperfect and perhaps flawed in its brevity, but nevertheless is expressive of the vulnerability that is revealed in matters of the heart. S.R.B.
