This is my friend, Megan Taylor. She’s one of my favorite people, and has been for about ten years. This photo is from April 2010, when Hanna and I visited Meg in San Francisco. Before I forget, Meg’s blog is called Poem Sweet Poem. Note: If you’re reading this in Google Reader or another RSS agent, you may not be able to listen to the song files below.
Meg reciprocated the visit with a trip to our home in Maine last month. Meg went to Bates with us and lived in Portland for a few years, so she’s no stranger to these woods.
During this visit, we did all kinds of fun stuff. We baked a pie, took Reina (our doggie) to the park, listened to tons of late-era Led Zeppelin, ate Thai food and, as always, talked extensively on a variety of topics both serious and frivolous. It was awesome.
We also played music in the basement. Hanna played drums, Matt played bass, I played guitar, and Meg sang lead. We played a lot of songs. Some didn’t work out very well, but we still had fun. Here are some of the ones that worked out better than the others.
Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac
Dreams by Fleetwood Mac
The Battle of Evermore by Led Zeppelin with Sandy Denny
Be My Baby by the Ronettes
Love Me Do by the Beatles
Handle With Care by the Traveling Wilburys
Thanks for visiting us, Meggie. Until next time, I’m waiting for the Angels of Avalon… waiting for the eastern glow.
