All the songs, it holds. Touching and lovely. Really lovely. <br />Janet F.skanny17https://www.blogger.com/profile/07488350213473016250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-38377240459964943432014-04-28T22:40:15.407-04:002014-04-28T22:40:15.407-04:00Amy,

The hours someone spent practicing, the songs performed, the moments of frustrations, and all that must hide inside. I would imagine they do save "every song" and every story. If only we could hear them.<br /><br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-24175000364184089462014-04-27T21:22:28.378-04:002014-04-27T21:22:28.378-04:00Another beautiful poem.

A poem about a songs trapped within, a poem about the missing strings, a list poem of all the songs it played, etc. <br /><br />I especially liked the first two lines of this poem.Linda A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16517546647672781332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-46783490389211335712014-04-26T14:17:04.499-04:002014-04-26T14:17:04.499-04:00My grandmother played the violin.

I remember feeling this way, that the violin knew her shoulder and her music, and I never would. I think I hear a response poem coming. <br />I already have a copy of Forest signed by you, so only put my name in the hat for the anthology (which I would love, btw.)Margaret Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04434866104385187658noreply@blogger.com
