A picture tells a story #6 – playing some music

After a break last week, I hope I can find some musical inspiration with this picture. I’m wondering how old this picture is? I still have old LPs, but no player, which is a pity. How quickly technology moves on. The lightly applied rules: No more than 500 words, but as little as I like. It could be poem if I’m short on time. Something related to the prompt – … Read more…

This is this week’s writing prompt. By Thursday/Friday, I’ll put up a story. Here are my rules to keep myself in check: No more than 500 words, but as little as I like. It could be poem if I’m short on time. Something related to the prompt – it can begin it, or end it. It could be the background or the action, the setting or the people or maybe the … Read more…
