I may have to cry. Look at this!!!!
Susie from Pencil Drawings Sketch Art drew it for me. Isn't it awesome? Nobody's ever drawn me before...besides me, that is.
So! Do you recognize the people in the drawing? Who are they? I'll give you a hint: They're both named Carol, which means "song of joy" and one of them is me. That was two hints.
And so, without further ado, today's blog post! (No, that was not the post; I am never that brief and you know it. Now hush!)
The name of this post is....[insert drumroll for me here, please, Drummergirl Jan]
13 Ways I Am Like Carol Kaye*
1) I do hate to state the obvious, but we're both named Carol. Which, in case you didn't know, means Song of Joy. Wait! You knew that already. Okay, moving along...
2) We both play electric bass, a phrase Carol coined. Not me, her. Okay, that's obvious, too.
3) We're both girls.
3) We both come from musical parents. Her mom played piano, her dad played trombone; my mom sang opera and my dad played the radio, but he played Country-Western music. Does that still count? Okay, good!
4) We're both moms. Her kids are grown and mine are still in the process. But we're both moms.
5) We've both been married twice. There's a difference here, though. Neither of her marriages lasted, but both of mine have.
....Moving along VERY quickly....
6) We both played guitar before we started playing bass.
7) We both learned guitar as teenagers.
---How'm I doing so far? It's starting to get a little more challenging now.
8) We both wear glasses! I know it's obvious, but it's a good one and I'm keeping it!
9) Uh...we're both American citizens. (C'mon! It's getting tough.)
10) We both like jazz and rock. Actually we both like jazz and rock as our first two music choices, although in reverse order of each other.
11) We both share the same opinions about our toxic society and the health care industry. And I've got the emails to prove it.
12) We're both women. Obviously! (I kno, I know. Cut me some slack.)
13) That's all I can think of. Maybe you know of one that I missed?
Susie, I love the drawing! And I know Carol Kaye will, too. I love how you linked us together in that esoteric, artsy-fartsy way, sort of connecting us without having to point it out in a list. You do good work, girl! Thank you so much! I'll let you know what Carol Kaye says when I send it to her.
Hey, readers! Y'all should ask her. Maybe Susie will draw you, too! (And remind her to draw the Wilson Sisters while you're at it.)
So, if Susie were to draw the classic rock artist of your choice, who would it be?
