The other guy’s talent

Cars of beauty:

 I do not know 'This Old Car' above but I like it. Now 'This Old Car' below I would know in the junk yard or on the road, it is a 1949 Ford.

For today Sunday:

Son Mark is not a tech savvy person.  He can use his smart phone, but does not care for a PC or laptop. He is also a fan of OLD Movies; a lot of 'em cowboys. He called his mom to say, “Go to GRIT this evening and watch Joel McCrea in “Will There Be any Stars In my Crown”, you will love it.”

WE did watch most of it; it came on earlier than expected. I had not heard of the old movie but it was good, and strangely it was about a virus and being ‘homebound.’ I was fortunate, even without closed caption I had to ask Sherry only a couple times, ‘What did he say?’ LOL… Even an unlearned person can tell when a person is has talent as an actor.

So along that line I have been singing ‘This Old House.’ Lately, and I have thought about song writers. Ever try to write a song? I remember when I was in the band, I thought I could. What I learned at an early age, it is hard to ‘write’ something new! As I tried, I learned that every tune I came up with, someone had already ‘stole’ it. LOL

I enjoyed the common words Hamblin came up with in ‘This Old House.’ My old Hound dog lies ‘a-sleeping’ always brings a visual to me. I know and have known several song writers who have sold hundreds of songs: TN Ward (also his brother & son), Vep Ellis, CS Grogan, Craven and more. On the net I know Rick & Jilda. I enjoy the creative lines Rick uses on his Blog. In this family, our twins, Joshua and Stephen, have written some very good ones. Stephen has written ‘Symphonies’, to my amazement. Both are outstanding musicians, but then Sherry may be a little partial. LOL

I am a whistler, and when alone, am a great singer (?). When I near the end of a task (that is going well) I start whistling or singing. Sherry has noticed this. As I finished Gisela’s door I didn’t realize I had started singing. She popped in to say, “I love it when a person sings while they work.”  (I took notice she did not say, “You are a great singer!”)  LOL

I had a brother talented in metal work, the other could do anything with wood. I too have a talent with wood. I love putting it together.
 
Everyone has talents, most unheralded. I know we have several poets in Bloggersville. What’s yours? (DO NOT BE MODEST), say it!!!
