Lost and found
Sometimes, rarely
In the first moments of the sun
I forget everything
Clean slate
Even she is not in her usual place
I panic a little
Reaching for my name
And then the flooding memories swirl in
The rising tide of all that has been
My life
And I see it most clearly
She is the diamond in the dirt
And I
Am the dirt
Then the wonder takes shape again
And the same old puzzlement
What does she see in me?

My ex and I nearly ran Paul Kelly over in our car one Saturday morning. That would have been a difficult thing to explain to his legion of fans. It was totally his fault btw.

CB hasn’t popped in for a while but when I do I find Paul Kelly. Was wondering if you were going to feature him. “Under The Sun’ was CB”s first intro to PK. Instantly hooked on his music. Great, great album. (Does this guy write a bad song?). Fortunate to see him a few times. I always thought he was a kindred spirit to Springsteen. I just had a PK listening jag a while back. Never a bad thing. Say hi to Paul for me.

He and I only meet at traffic incidents. I am listening to leaps and bounds as I type this, though. He’s a national treasure and no, he doesn’t have a bad song. The Springsteen comparison is certainly valid.

There may be a PK feature in the next few weeks.

Don’t always comment but i dig your blog. You have a few “national treasures” but CB is claiming them for a while. (Nick isn’t to shabby either. Love ‘The Proposition’ great flick). Keep spreading the good news. More people should know Kelly’s work. Later Jersey
