The Blues they send to meet me!

The Blues! What the heck are they?  Feelings of sadness?  Feelings of anxiety?  Feelings of being overwhelmed?  But why do people listen to The Blues?  To feel worse?  . . . or to feel better?  Depends, I guess on the day, the song, and the person.

I'm thinking that today, I've got The Blues --- the "I don't know what the first day of Music School is gonna be like Blues."  So, what am I going to do about this?  I'm going to feel sorry for myself for another thirty seconds, and then I'm gonna make me a list (well, another list), and then I'm going to right on it!

List:
Finish this post
Email the parents
Start putting up bulletin boards
Dust off the lesson plans for the first week that have been written for three weeks! (Yes, I'm excited, too!)

Okay, back to The Blues.  They are soulful, mournful, but always poetic and sometimes despite being "The Blues" they can make you feel better.  Here are my First Day of Music School Blues.

Got me a music class out in the backyard,

Yeah, I say, got me a music class out in the backyard,

But, I'm tellin' you now, it ain't gonna be hard.

hummm . . . first attempt at the AAB line pattern wasn't too bad, but, it nothin' to write home about!  But, I'm feeling better already!

 The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me -- It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me.
