Sleepy Front Porch Lights

"Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk."

Finally, I have shirt to prove it! Just got back from a Bruce Springsteen concert with some most excellent friends and new friends. And about 20,000 new fan/friends who love The Boss. Was it life changing? In many ways. An incredible concert, more importantly the new people I have met and the old ones I met again.

My best friend Carson (whose name is my horse and my blog) and I used to spend our summers at the Lake Wylie and Cape Hatterass. All the people we knew then, or that I can remember were there. They have fought illness, death, storms and time but they were there for Bruce. And rather, he was there for us. "Girls in their summer clothes..." what better image is that? Girls with lovers, holding hands on the porch, learning about life...riding bikes, cool evenings, free of everything, a girl can save your life....just going back to that young part was good for my soul.

Sally, Carson's sister, yelled as we went in, "this is gonna change your life!" They had just gone to Atlanta to see him. She was right.
