First Love, Paper-Thin
The first time I fell in love, I sat cross-legged immersed in a stack of books. Maybe it was love...maybe peace, freedom, or simple contentedness.

Saturday Night on the Square
A few years ago as I scattershot street scenes in my wife's Texas hometown, I noticed a pile of cars pulling up, parking, and people filling the vacant lots surrounding the green grass of the town square. Men and women armed with cases of acoustic guitars, basses, banjos and violins (fiddles) gathered in pockets in the grass, leaned against streetlight poles or squat on hoods of cars.

Sweet honeysuckle hanging on the back fence drifted in through the open window and mingled with the music echoing up the staircase. The Beatles...Elvis...Chicago...Fleetwood Mac...Sly and the Family Stone and Casey's long distance dedication walked around in the small apartment we called home.
