An Afternoon with Muriel Anderson and Others

Sunday afternoon Chuck and I hosted a private concert in Hot Springs Village featuring Muriel Anderson.  She was our guest about this same time last year.  We have been following her since we first heard her at the Acoustic Cafe at the Second Presbyterian Church in Little Rock. 

She performs her original compositions and many familiar songs on the classical style guitar and the harp guitar.  Muriel was the first woman to win the National Finger-style Guitar Championship. She is one of the world’s foremost finger-style guitarists and harp-guitarists. She plays bluegrass, classical, and international music. She has recorded with many guitar legends including Chet Atkins. She has also performed with Victor Wooten, Les Paul, Tommy Emmanuel, and many others including Nashville Chamber Orchestra.

What The World Needs Now Is Love

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It's the only thing that there's just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

No, not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we don't need another mountain

There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb

There are oceans and rivers enough to cross

Enough to last until the end of time

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It's the only thing that there's just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

No, not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we don't need another meadow

There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow

There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine

Oh, listen Lord, if You want to know

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

It's the only thing that there's just too little of

What the world needs now is love, sweet love

No, not just for some, oh but just for every, every, everyone

Remembering good times with my Mom:

Circa 1949

Circa: 1955

Circa: 1951

1958

1985

2000

I remember laying on a glider on our screened porch in 

1951 or '52...listening to the radio on Sunday afternoon.  

We listened to 'The Shadow"(Who knows what lurks in the minds of men, The Shadow knows...), "The FBI in War and Peace", "Inter-sanctum"(the door screeching as it opened).

I remember going to the movie on Christmas Eve and then to Walgreen's to buy decorations for the tree.  I still have them.  We were killing time while Santa and his reindeer had a chance to land on our roof and leave me some presents.  We didn't have a chimney so I guess he came in a window or a door!

I remember her bringing me breakfast from the Country Kitchen before I left for school.  I would call her at night about 8pm when the cafe was closing...asking her to bring me a Milky Way and a Coke on ice (shaved in a Styrofoam cup). We used to walk a lot around our neighborhood.

What great memories of a great time to have grown up and to have my Mom!
