Glad you pinged! That’s so cute. We’ve had a few tiny showers, too. I want big ones!

Thanks, LUV!

We’ve had about 2.5”, already, and are supposed to get another 2.5” this evening. I’ll try and send some your way ;^)

And let my music sing to you,
The song my heart knows to be true,
I cannot hide my soul, or anything,
When freshly from my bath I spring,

That's from my "let it all hang out" period, which ran from, oh, the Eisenhower Administration to several decades from now.

Careful when letting it all hang out!

Nude piano playing might be ok, but nude bass playing can give you a rash!

hehehe

I blame that guy Rorschach. He's the one with all the dirty pictures.

Apparently, "don't shoot the piano player" doesn't apply to photography.

Imagine, if you will, a 30 pound slab of swamp ash with chrome steel hardware, suspended from your neck by a large leather strap, slapping against your chest in rhythm with the drummer, in a hot, smoke-filled room!

LOL!

That’s not the style of playing the Naked Cowboy uses.

Additionally, the pictured piano player is not necessarily me, nor necessarily male. Could be one of those Maxfield Parrish tweeners.

I wrote a story for “Daybreak”, by the way.

I love Maxfield Parrish’s “Daybreak”.

Sometimes, at certain times of the day in Florida, the skies remind me of his paintings.

Since I play bass in church, I am always fully clothed. LOL!

"Since I play bass in church, I am always fully clothed."

It's probably easier to get away with doing it naked if you play piano or sing in the choir. At least that's worked for me.

Will, if you play bass slung low, like Flea from The Red Hot Chili Peppers, it does help camouflage the naughty bits.

I also lead the singing, so i am “up-front”. No hiding in the back like Entwhistle(RIP).

I know we’re talking music, and it’s fun, but all I can share with you is what I’ve written and alluded to in these posts. My attempts at writing songs don’t work out too well.

Unexpected Encounter
March 10, 2015

The Lord repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the Lord God of Israel. —Ruth 2:12

Drew, young and enthusiastic, was leading the singing for the first time in a large church. Lois, a long-time attender, wanted to encourage him, but she thought it would be too difficult to get to the front of the church before he left. But then she saw a way to snake through the crowd. Lois told Drew, “I appreciate your enthusiasm in worship. Keep serving Him!”

As Lois walked away, she ran into Sharon, who she hadn’t seen in months. After a short conversation, Sharon said, “Thank you for what you do for the Lord. Keep serving Him!” Because Lois had gone out of her way to give encouragement, she was now in the right place to receive unexpected encouragement.

After Ruth and her mother-in-law, Naomi, left Moab and returned to Israel, they received an unexpected blessing. They were both widows with no one to provide for them, so Ruth went to glean grain from a field (Ruth 2:2-3). The field happened to be owned by Boaz, a distant relative of Naomi’s. He noticed Ruth, provided for her needs, and later became her husband (2:20; 4:13). Ruth received a blessing because she was in the right place at the right time (2:11-23).

Sometimes God uses unexpected encounters to bring unexpected blessings.

Dear Lord, help me to go out of my way to encourage others—whether or not I receive anything in return. My heart’s desire is to help others along the way to know You. May I be Your hands and feet.
When it comes to helping others, don’t stop at nothing.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.
