Solace for the Wayfaring Pilgrim

I think there are only a few people who can sing this properly (Jack White’s version is quite strong as well.) When I was young, had a guitar and sang some songs, and my mother, who doesn’t hold back her opinions, said I didn’t have the soul to sing one of her favorites—“The Rose” by Bette Midler. She was probably right. Experience and hardship helps a singer convey feeling, grit, even tears, though the young and inexperienced may give a song a whirl, nonetheless and keep music in their backpocket for solace during harder times. I probably should have kept up with my guitar, though I still have it. Maybe I’ll pull it back out one of these days. Take care, wherever you are. —Margaret __ATA.cmd.push(function() { __ATA.initDynamicSlot({ id: 'atatags-26942-62b6cad00a479', location: 120, formFactor: '001', label: { text: 'Advertisements', }, creative: { reportAd: { text: 'Report this ad', }, privacySettings: { text: 'Privacy', } } }); });
