FAWM #3: Monday Moonday

posted February 20, 2010

Monday Moonday let’s hope it’s a sunny day
Everything begins on Monday

Tuesday Mars Day, red hot in the stars day
Maybe I will play with Lars today

Wednesday is the day we talk no matter what the weather
Thursday is HooteNanny when we sing together

Friday, a busy day, move so fast I’m dizzy day
Saturday the biggies go out for date night

And Sunday is when
We see all our friends
Stand on our heads
And put our plans to bed
And start all over again.

All Roads Lead to Homer: Quest-Driven Novels, (Part 1)

I started these stories because I knew I had to write about my years on the road as part of another folk-rock band. What I experienced as an itinerant musician, traveling and performing with family members and lovers, gave me an education I couldn’t have paid for, an education that makes my time in an Ivy League institution pale in comparison. As Melville’s character Ishmael says of the whale ship he lived aboard for the span of Moby-Dick’s timeline, “It was my Yale College and my Harvard.” So was my Moby, the white fifteen-passenger Dodge Ram van we traveled within for the better part of the 1990s.
