In 1970 and for the past ten years
we harmonized with waves of ocean song
on the Pacific North Oregon Coast
Gib (my Gibson guitar) and I
have been companions making music
since graduation from high school in 1969
Now life flows on in endless song together on Whidbey Island where Gib’s warm & crisp sound continues to evoke an echo in my soul
And in the words of Robert Lowry’s hymn written
100 years before Gib and I met, with such music resonantly ringing, how can I keep from singing?
