smitten with edgar guest


from the fbs (firstborn studio) archives

i love the folksy sensibility of this man.
as a young girl i purchased an edgar guest treasury at a junk store while on a road trip with friends. his poems never fail to speak to a hardship or joy or just plain old everyday living that i may be experiencing.


just thought you should know.

do you hear what i hear?


i come by it honestly,my insatiable appetite for good Christmas music.
like my mother before me(and still) i start the turntable early on,the
day after thanksgiving and play it non-stop until right after the new year.
