This is my entry for this Steemit Open Mic Week 78. To be honest, this is not my best performance, but it's representative of my life at this moment. Music was my life and when I became a mother, I set it aside. For the last decade, my music has consisted of lullabies and kids' folk tunes, which is fine. I enjoyed it immensely and continue to enjoy it as I know these times are fleeting and too soon I'll long for the interruptions and mayhem that make recording a two minute video darn-near impossible. (Anyone else need 30 takes to get one solid performance?)
That being said, I am going to approach this entry as I've approached all my Steemit posts, in true Crowbarmama fashion. If I waited for my posts to be perfect, they'd never be shared, at least not for another decade and I'm ready to live again right now. I mean, I've been living and my life is beautiful, truly magnificent. But, something interesting has happened lately. My oldest daughter is teaching herself ukelele and has been asking for my help with chords and strumming and getting more material to play and I have been jamming with her.
Every time I hear this original, it stops me and gives me goosebumps. It speaks to me and I never tire of it. Lullabies and kids' tunes have their place and I LOVE the peace and smiles I bring with those, but jamming on some quality tunes is what I have been missing! I feel so alive! So much so that I feel I have to share this now. As it is. Raw...
...and if I stick with weekly entries I'll get my guitar fingers back!
Thanks for stopping by.
