For Gene Smith aka Daddy Rabbit who loved his Breedlove.
I am like a tree,
I start as a seed with not an inkling of what the sun appears to be or the passage of time. But I do know in that kernel that lies at my core that there is something that I must strive for, something I MUST reach.
Through soil, brick, concrete it doesn't matter I will find a way to reach it and when I do it's golden rays empower me with a newfound energy. I burst forth, uncurl my fronds and grow toward the light that calls me.
I stand tall and grow with each passing of the seasons, I weather storms learning when to stand strong and when to bend with the wind. I stand in the forest for a century and watch some of my brothers and sisters fall and some flourish. Then I fall...
The final fall, broken into pieces, my heartwood laid bare to the world. But then I feel hands lovingly touching the brokens pieces, a soft touch sanding the rough edges, making gentle cuts and I realize that my sacrifice will give many shelter and warmth where needed, provide a safe place for a child to sleep, and make music that touches many hearts and souls for centuries to come.
And it all was because of a humble carpenter and his Father.
I am like a tree.
An interesting read. One that seemingly addresses listening to music in a communal way such as we do each time we join the chatroom and listen to music as a group.

Hello Mix family,
Please join me for a special dedication of tonight's show for our Mixster Sister Trisha Crawford. Trish is a staunch devoted member of this collective family we call Mixposure/Mixstream and my intent is to let her know how grateful we are that she is here with us.
Y'all know the time, the room, and where your chair is. Come on in and kick your shoes off and let's have a really good time.
