“…ohh say can you see, my eyes if you can? Then my hairs too short!”
Wait that’s Hair, not the Star Spangled Banner. Well I assure you this video combines plenty of both. Tomorrow you’ll get the second half of course. When I first recorded it I thought it was rather dull, but I recently heard someone else’s recorded version on the net and mine was much better.
Of course, it’s nothing compared to Jimi.

I have a feeling I’m gonna really regret putting this out there. I thought I was a better singer then this but after hearing myself I think I’ll keep my mouth forever shut. To be perfectly fair I am still recovering from a cold I had a couple of weeks ago. This is of course a mashup of House of the Rising Sun and Amazing Grace. Please tell me I didn’t butcher it that bad.
You can find lyrics to both at the sites linked above.

Finally the semester (and this rant) was at an end. I remember me saying she wouldn’t come back and visit me. I remember her doing so a few days later.
I never saw her again. It seems every now and then I see her out of the corner of my eye only to have it be someone completely different. Sometimes I wonder if she ever existed.

Her fiance was in Austin trying to make it big I gathered. I would often see her at the local club protected by her circle of girlfriends. I was the only guy she was allowed to talk to.
For some occasion she had bought him an $800 guitar. I asked if he had written a song for her and he hadn’t. So that night I wrote her Celestialmuse.
Of course the entire time I was a gentleman and we never went past harmless flirting. Sappy isn’t it.
