Guitar

Grandma's default is to nap; it's the central project of her life, and it's as if all other activities she does via having been reminded of them or distracted by them. She seemed pleasantly surprised to see me take out Grandpa's guitar.

Per Fisher tradition I played from Twice 55 and Rise Up Singing. The song titles of some of the standard classics--Strawberry Roan, Streets of Laredo, Juanita, Tumbling Tumbleweeds--she recalled as if they were the names of old friends. As I played Old Folks at Home, she recited all the lyrics, no help needed.
