Ode To A Rose (with new intro and outro 7/23/23) by David Dunham published on 2021-06-15T01:25:32Z With Pat's passing, I wanted to post this version of Ode with us doing a little brainstorming on the creation of the song. I witnessed a miracle--at least I would call it that. A beloved rose that was a regular bloomer(pictured) fell victim to the incredibly harsh cold spell we had in February of 2021. By April when the rest of the roses were waking up, this one had not a sign of life in it, just a brown stump. I watered, and fed, and waited, and waited. Nothing. I dug out the stump. For Mothers' Day my daughter had bought a rose to replace the one that had perished...or so I thought. Within a week of planting the new one, the old one put out a shoot just a foot away. I guess the digging, watering, etc for the new rose stimulated some remaining root of the old. It has since received lots of love and care, and has at least a half-dozen buds ready to bloom in a couple of weeks. So this is an ode; to a beloved rose and all things miraculous. Special thanks to Pat Howell for the initial inspiration and his fine musicianship and sweet additions with mandolin and octave.

As usual performed with a lovely arrangement. I can only hope that we can "water and nourish", the best sides of humanity for the coming years so that we can see a regrowth of joy and harmony in our broken world. Perhaps our music can be a little fertilizer for the purpose. ;) 2022-12-09T09:13:20Z Comment by Midisound Really nice guitar, David. 2022-02-03T21:50:24Z Comment by Ian Stokes Beautiful music David and the rose looks great! 2021-10-20T15:01:20Z Comment by Rowena Simpson Just lovely! 2021-10-05T07:55:43Z Comment by gaspar monterde beautiful! 2021-09-21T20:40:28Z Comment by Docvet great athmosphere and play 2021-09-05T07:37:47Z Comment by Don Jennings great playing as usual! 2021-08-21T01:23:19Z Comment by Anibal Seminara Excellent piece! 2021-08-20T09:26:49Z Comment by Richard John Fine skills, a wonderful progression and melodic theme - a lovely collab! 2021-08-09T17:10:52Z Comment by Rusty Davis Nice melody!
