Tom

So many details have disappeared, but I do remember that evening--making our way back along the road at dusk, the insects finally quieted and the stillness almost eerie. You pulled out your harmonica and played the blues, as everything was drawn into the dark.

Wow. So sensual. Hitting so many notes in my mind at once.

I once learned to bend the low note on a blues harp...

Helen, you may think the details have disappeared but not in my mind. Very beautiful...I could even hear the insects quieting to hear Tom play the blues.
