If you guess who this is ... give yourself five points


HE WAS THE CURLY HAIRED KID WHO WORE THE BUDDY HOLLY'S GLASSES


AT SCHOOL ASSEMBLIES HE GAVE PIANO CONSERTS TO PLEASE HIS MOTHER


HE HAD NO LIKE OF SPORTS...BUT WROTE THE SCHOOL SONG STILL BEING SUNG TODAY


FROM HIS MOTHER CAME THE MUSIC... FROM HIS FATHER CAME HIS PRIDE


DID NOT TAKE THE EASY PATH ...BLAZED A NEW TRAIL OF HIS OWN


HIS HERO WAS WOODY AND STILL IS TODAY


THE STONES HE FOLLOWED ARE STILL ROLLING TODAY


GONE NOW ARE THE GLASSES... THE HAIR IS STILL CURLY TODAY


I  STILL LOOK FORWARD TO EACH WORD HE HAS TO SAY

This would be Bobby Zimmerman and one of my favorite poets to this day. You were fortunate to have him as a friend growing up in Hibbing, MN.

Looks like you're feeling much better and I'm happy that you're back here at Author's Den. keep getting better...take care!

River of Memories: An Appalachian Boyhood by David Thompson

For a time, I perched myself on a flat rock, comparing my life with the Guyandotte River. Just as its tributaries replenish it daily, changing it in some small—sometimes great—degree, so have the day-to-day occurrences of life changed me. Like the ri
