TheBanyanTree: Cecil's Play List

[Jena Norton]

I cam to the party on the Tree a bit late, but still was fortunate enough to spend time with Cecil, Dee, and YB (and Alice). Sash and I went to Cecil's celebration of life. His family and friends told us over and over again how much the Tree dwellers meant to Cecil. We in turn kept telling them how special he was to us. I'm sorry we didn't get celebrate Dee's life other than here. I still  want to ask her cooking questions and how to make some exotic cocktail. As for YB, I visited her just before she no longer wanted visitors.
I'm so thankful to have known them, as well as all of you others. I've had happy times with folks here!

 I was digging through some storage boxes and stumbled across some cassette
tapes among the audio books on CDs.  One was Cecil's Play List from The
Spoon, volume 2, J-O.  Don't see volumes 1 and 3 on top, but I still have
the files from which I printed the cassette labels with the names and
artists of all Cecil's wish list.  I shipped him all three cassette volumes
after I'd collected all of his picks for which I could find recordings only
a few months before we heard of his death, so can only hope that he got a
chance to listen to them in time.  I'm going to have to mount the cassette
drive and listen to these again, and look for the other two volumes.  I've
lost the story he told of how his family moved west in the wagon.

 

I also miss Dee's selections on the juke box.  And Wes's train rides.  The
two Julies always kept my attention, as did Barra the Bard, whom I see is
still on the net, telling stories at Renaissance festivals.  Corresponded
with her a few years ago, and she sent me a special story I was trying to
recall.

 

Pilgrimage time is coming.  Miss Stargazr's Tangerine Dream.  Wonder who's
driving it now.  The cemetery in Galveston is much prettier in March than it
is in December, when all the daisies are blooming-- a solid field of yellow,
punctuated by gravestones and markers.  

 

Hugs,

Dale
