Vacations Are Fun
My ears are up
there’s a smile on my face
I’m so happy
to be back in my place.
I’ve eaten my dinner
played with the boys
even had fun
with the old chew toys.
Vacations are fun
but home is best
finally I’ll have
a little quiet and rest.

People always ask me – “Have you done this all your life”? It didn’t make any difference what stage of life I was at, it is always the same question. If you are wondering, “Have I Done This All My Life”, I will tell you if you have a little time. I have tried many endeavors during my seventy five years of life, as most people have. My interests have usually been in the arts, so they show more openly than other peoples hobbies and passions. People always tell me how talented I am. I thank them and remind them that we all have talents. It’s just that most people don’t display their passions through art, poetry and music. They are just as gifted, but in less visible areas. So never feel intimated by another’s
Sitting in the Sun One Last Day
Sitting in the sun
one more day
maybe the last
November on its way
Beautiful blue skies
colorful leaves
one last day
in a warm gentle breeze
Sweet smelling leaves
buds still blooming
not really knowing
winter is looming
One last day
enjoying the fall
winter too close
not far at all

I played accordion most of my life. Started in 1951 when I was 6 years old. During the 80’s and 90’s, my ex and I played as a duo known as the Good Time Two. We parted ways in 2008 and I did not play much after that.
My wonderful Iorio Accorgon weighed 29 pounds and became way to heavy for me to lift. In 2019 I decided to get a smaller accordion that I could handle. I bought a small, 14 pound Roland FR 1X. It was a nice size, but the keyboard was too small. So in 2020 I bought a larger version, Roland FR 4X Accordion. It has wonderful accordion, organ and orchestra sounds. It is a virtual accordion which uses all sampled sounds.
Now my friends want to hear me play, so I have started making a few videos.
Still playing at 75!
