There are many versions of the lyrics of this traditional Scottish song. I guess that would make sense when it's been sung and played since the 1600's. Here's the version I prefer, but I'd rather it was all sweet, without all the breaking and fading away.....

MINDFUL
set the page
a side
over where the sun,
oops gone,
where the shade
deepens greens
to jungle
and layers of life
have waited
to participate in
such a moment
leaving
a mind full of passing
awe
like the sun
that's back now
to be written about
demanding
my pen to pause
before recording
backlit fern lace
aglow in impossible greens
and the... exquisite screech
of rusty
construction equipment
perfectly attuned
to my third thoracic vertebra
or the pair puzzling
a crossword
across from me
paralleled by
a pair of java sparrows
and my doppel
over there
man writing alone
for a moment
harmonies swath
and bandaid
scraped spots
somewhere inside
below the left shoulder
near the lung
reminding me to breathe
and just that
to repairRead More

I'm working on a cover of the Dire Straits song, "Why Worry?". I'm doing something a little different, a recording technique that I learned about from Dave Matthews. Instead of learning the song from beginning to end, I'm learning and recording one section at a time...

Tioli Art and Music In researching variations on a song I'm working on, I came across Chet Atkins' version. And there's a flub in it!
