Sunday Childhood Memory - The First Note
Playing chess in his basement room. The weighted wooden pieces all jammed into their wooden box. LPs spinning on the turntable. Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Gentle Giant, The Rolling Stones, Emerson Lake and Palmer in the background. The cramped room, the records (everywhere!), posters, books, the order within the disorder. John Lennon. His eyeglasses. Number 9. Guessing "Let it Be" correctly after the first note of the first measure of that song. The thinking, the philosophy, the dreaming, the playing, the challenges. The honest fun we had together. Countless days of it. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9....the difference in our ages. He was my cousin and my older brother. Let me know what you think about what you have just read. Please and thanks!
