Last week we had the “tagged R”-challenge, so this week we’ll create a new turn with “S” – I’m sure you’ll also find a photo, a story or a music title tagged with “S”! Feel free to add in the comments below the link to your personal interpretation of the letter “S”!!! Myself I’ll focus on “Squirrel”:
SQUIRREL
Since sixty years I like the jazz title SWEET SUE and I played it often on various guitars; recently Jeff Burns from Brooklyn, who calls himself SQUIRREL, kindly joined with his banjo:

Thanks for another great challenge! ‘S’ is for stories, for Scotland, and for a scary scrape to be in!

Thank you, Naomi, for storytelling; I like the fragment: “When brains are called for, brawn won’t help…” – maybe a good advice actually for people in the Ukraine… – and for Boko Haram in Nigeria

thanks, Tish! You made me fetch out the oldest book in my bookshelf, a chronicle of my hometown [Die Geschichte Arnsbergs by DeLacroix], describing the century of pestilence very exactly – “Came days of pestilence, on all sides men fell dead, death fetched off the flower of the people…” – and describing how the main castle was destroyed by the canons of the enemies (1300) [soldiers and Lords killed without pardon] – or how the crusaders failed to win during their battle vs. Jerusalem (1200); just after my wife came back from an eye surgery I’m happy to live in modern civilization with good educated meds.

Yes, nostalgia for the past can sometimes be displaced can’t it. Wishing your wife a swift recovery of her precious eyes.

hi Pommepal, thanks for refreshing my memories: a friend of mine, anxious when snakes came to kill some of his chickens during his African period, nightly ran to the chickens and found a long snake (python I believe). With his axe he cut off her head. But surprisingly the snake turned around and stared into his eyes: he had failed and hat cut off a little piece of the tail.
