Hope . . .

. . . springs eternal (in the human breast) . . .


(from https://www.rawstory.com/2020/01/conservative-senator-hints-impeachment-trial-may-be-moving-republicans-gop-caucus-has-learned-a-lot/?fbclid=IwAR0NYKAcpvqp5FovDYsS8CO6gs216UThSJnX5ZGJpzJQytJ3ApPT9LngoUU)
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA)". . . is one of Trump’s biggest defenders, even though he ran for Lousiana attorney general, state Treasurer, and U.S. Senate as a Democrat, before switching parties. Kennedy acknowledged that Republican senators were not familiar with the case. “I’ve learned a lot. Everybody has. Senators didn’t know the case,” Kennedy admitted. “They really didn’t.”. . ."

Spring . . .


(from Mr. Rod Deacey)
  Spring flowers are blooming and little yellow flags have shown up in Carroll Creek in downtown Frederick, which means the waterlilies will not be far behind! It’s time for our monthly Songwriters Showcase at Brewer’s Alley in Frederick, Maryland, on the SECOND Monday in the month, April 10 (which is TOMORROW!) so please come out for a great evening! Don’t forget, we start at 7:30... You should arrive early to get good seats, as always, as we have our expected excellent line-up…

      We are always delighted to present our featured songwriter this month – our long-time friend TONY DENIKOS, known for his combination of outstanding songs and terrific guitar skills… Plus he does this quirky raspy thing with his harmonica which no-one else can master! Tony’s songs are perfect slices of Americana, punctuated by his wry, self-deprecating delivery, and despite his apologies, they are not depressing so much as authentic… Come and check him out!

      Monday’s Piano Prelude, will be played and sung by another authentic voice –
the incredibly talented KATY HYLTON! Katy is moving soon, but we hope she doesn’t move too far away to come back and play for us! During the prelude and beyond, we believe the multi-tasking Christian will be taking care of our food and drinks as usual…

     Three-song cameos will be from Todd’s Pick, bluesmeister TOM DEWS, who plays the best rack-mounted blues harmonica you are ever likely to hear, and one of our favorite pianists, ROCKIN’ RAY JOZWIAK, doing a rare three-song spot because we miss him… Poet JOHN HOLLY will be reciting a couple of poems sometime in the evening. I have new poems, and a beat poem with whoever shows up from the Brewer’s BaBoom! Unit (that’s BaBoom, not baboon; you read it too fast…). RON GOAD is doing his best to be present although he has another commitment, so it may come down to TIM BRADY and maybe TOMY WRIGHT.

      Soundman and MC duties tomorrow will be undertaken as usual by TODD C WALKER, who likes the spring because that’s when houses practically sell themselves – right, Todd?

Spring . . .

 

. . . will be here in only 91 days (as of this writing) and boy, am I looking forward to it.


Written in Early Spring
William Wordsworth

I HEARD a thousand blended notes  
While in a grove I sate reclined,  
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts  
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.  

To her fair works did Nature link          
The human soul that through me ran;  
And much it grieved my heart to think  
What Man has made of Man.  

Through primrose tufts, in that sweet bower,  
The periwinkle trail’d its wreaths;          
And ’tis my faith that every flower  
Enjoys the air it breathes.  

The birds around me hopp’d and play’d,  
Their thoughts I cannot measure,—  
But the least motion which they made          
It seem’d a thrill of pleasure.  

The budding twigs spread out their fan  
To catch the breezy air;  
And I must think, do all I can,  
That there was pleasure there.          

If this belief from heaven be sent,  
If such be Nature’s holy plan,  
Have I not reason to lament  
What Man has made of Man?
