Seventh Son mp3

I remember hearing a story about some beautiful rocking chairs in a local antique store. The story was that there were a bunch of brothers (could have been 7, could have been more or fewer, I can’t remember, but it was a bunch) who lived together and each had a rocking chair on the porch. Each chair was custom-made, a variation on a theme, fitted to an individual brother. Each year they added a coat of whitewash to their chairs. After the brothers died off the antique dealer acquired the chairs, stripped off the whitewash and added a finish that let the walnut shine through. Sort of sounds like a lake wobegone norwegian bachelor farmer story.

    Hey Jim,

    Crazy can keep things interesting. But…

    Once Jan got Ellen Gilchrist to sign a novel for me (I was a big fan of her radio commentaries). Ellen asked Jan what I did for a living and then included this in the inscription: …and don’t take the machines too seriously - they don’t give oxygen

    So whatever that means, I pass the advice along to you.
