His Treasured Guitar

The bar crowd stood rapt
As he caressed music from
His treasured guitar

Written by Captain Hops.

References: A friend of mine is hand crafting amazing sounding and looking custom guitars in Portland Oregon. If you are or know a guitar aficionado, you may want to check out his website. I believe he will start selling these one of a kind treasures in June 2010.

Scenes from a Bar 6

He plays his guitar
As if the bar were enthralled
Though no one listens

The Session: Beer and Music

Yeah, I’m a Parrot Head

that first sip of beer
takes me to the same place as
Jimmy Buffett’s songs

Dance a Little Jig

with whiskey and stout
and some fast Irish music
to chase it all down

Ah… Youth

out after midnight
my brother on the guitar
sipping stolen beers

Written by Captain Hops.

the Session: Beer and Music

As you can probably see from my haiku today, it was my brother that got all the musical talent in the family.

Here are some past haiku that touch on the beer and music theme:
