Rene Rosso (aka Holly) penned a beauty in October, 2018.
Based on an old polaroid of Carmine & me, she came up with a poem that sticks in my heart and mind. If you click on the pic, you will go to her original post!
Remember back when you were a rock star
and I was a hippie angel?
How comfortable we were with our
heart and souls bared.
Do you remember now that you are so far
away that night in Eden when you came to me
and I came to you and the rest of the world
slipped away?
We held on to one another, made love and cried
decided never to speak of how every time
the lights went out you rushed to me,
so tender, coming and going.
Young and in love, we named that month Sextember,
yes, it still matters to me.
Do you remember our anguished goodbye?
Neither do I.
Have EYE ever thanked Holly enough?

I love Resa’s drawings, and your poetry. Together they are fantastic. I’m always surprised when groups like Vanilla Fudge, who I thought were long gone, reemerge. That’s a nice version of “You Keep Me Hanging On”.

I found a photo of Vanilla Fudge from 2018 that includes Carmine Appice. One in the same in the Polaroid? I’m a little slow sometimes.

There was something charming and spontaneous about those old Polaroid photos.
Unlike people these days trying to pose for the “perfect selfie” and the “perfect selfies” are the only pics they bother to post on social networking sites.

Yes, the good old days. I don’t wallow in the pity past, but it’s nice revisit the wonderful highlights.
That Carmine can sure play drums! I love when he twirls the drumsticks between beats. He is sooo cool!

Coucou toi, mon Amie HEART

je viens déposer
Le soleil dans ton coeur
Ma douceur dans ton âme
Un ciel étoilé dans ton regard
Lorsque ton coeur
Parlera à mon coeur
Nos âmes brûleront ,d’une douce chaleur
Lorsque je viens te rendre visite
Il me semble que je prends ta main
Afin d’être unis d’une grande amitié Céleste
Agréable journée ou soirée belle semaine
Gros bisous Bernard
