song out of tune discordant harmony lyrics fall flat melody rises, sharp strident tones, hurt composers pause soften high notes embelish low notes music freed duet of desire soars Alison [This message has been edited by Alison (03-11-2008 03:25 AM).] |

Ashamed am I. Because with my complete and total lack of any music talent, my first thought of G-String was totally different from yours...enjoyed this much more after the first couple lines and "understanding" blossomed...heh, heh. Kool write, my friend. jimmy |

Alison, This is very nice. I take it this is the “G” string on a musical instrument. My girlfriend used to dance in her younger days. If her “G” string snapped, that would be a very bad thing. This is very good writing. Bobby |

Ok, you got me too with the title, being muzickly inclined me self, I should have known better. However, my excuse is it was a combination of the title & author that led me down the garden path....I used to play with a guy ( No, Ali...in a band...) a few years ago that was shall we say artistically challenged, I used to ask him to give me an E flat, & got everything but. Got to the stage where I would say to him, just give me an E and I'll flatten it myself  J |

John, Thank you and loved the story. Now, don't you have a poem that you are supposed to be responding to. I am not nagging or anything, John, just gently reminding you that you have been one-upped.  Ali |

I've snapped a G-String or two in my day and I darn near lost an eye each time! Tuning a guitar can be mighty dangerous! It ain't for the feint of heart! lol A duet of soaring desire sure beats the heck out of discordant harmony! May both composers forever play love's song in tune!   Linda |

John, Stop uppin'- 1 and hop to it! Or was that 1 - uppin'? You know, I get really confused responding to comments sometimes. It's gotta be me because we ALL know that you are totally sane and on task. Yep. A  |

Nice write dear, not what I was expecting but I enjoyed it all the same. I guess us guys don't relate as well to "musical" G strings. Lol. Take care and Have fun. Steve |

Hey Steve, I guess it could be considered a tiny bit suggestive, maybe? Hope you grinned in spite of your disappointment. (grins) GOTCHA! I am glad that you are back and posting. Alison |
