But here I am leaning on the rusted railing
looking at the water below,
which is flat and reflective this morning,
sky‐blue and streaked with high clouds,
and the more I look at the water,
which is like a talking picture,
the more I think of 1902
when workmen in shirts and caps
riveted this iron bridge together
across a thin channel joining two lakes
where wildflowers blow along the shore now
and pairs of swans float in the leafy coves.
Billy Collins, The Iron Bridge

Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Paul Simon, Bridge Over Troubled Water

Such a beautiful composition John. Absolutely love the abstract bridge and its reflection. Very artistic.
I have been listening to a lot of The Petersens lately. I just love their gospel music and I make CD's for my Mom. She loves gospel music.
Interesting last song......

John, a wonderful render again that goes along with Billy Collins's and Paul Simon's 'poem' and well chosen video links.
With respect to the video links, you've chosen for different styles this time. The last one (Lets Go Faster, Technical Hitch) is to me a somewhat 'out of the box' contribution (think that I'm too old now for this style, 😜).
The Petersens's contribution has struck me however. Perfect close harmony voices and striking dobro play.
My favorite one of this group is THIS ONE.
Very well done again, 👍 !

Nice abstract bridge with good reflections, John. Always liked that 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' song.

I love the simplistic results of this one, and I enjoyed the links, I really enjoyed the first one, because of the mandolin, but all were wonderful. tigs=^..^=

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
