Week 24 - Cosmic Cairns - Teleportation

My wife and I have often talked over the years how nice it would be if teleportation existed.  We have friends and family scattered around all over the place and it's difficult to see a lot of them very often.  But if you could just instantly drop in anywhere just to meet up for lunch or to hang out on a Friday night... that would be super cool. I finally busted out my cello for the first time this year for this track.  I've been wanting to use it for a while now, but early in the year my wife started a reorganizing project that piled a bunch of stuff in front of it and made it hard to access.  Unfortunately she hasn't been able to focus on the project much because she's been having to do a lot for her parents who are in their 80's and who we are transferring into an assisted living facility.  I finally decided to just move some stuff out of the way and get to my cello, so hopefully it'll be making some more regular appearances.  I can use my musical saw now, too, because I needed the cello bow to play it. Also my dog George (one of the cairn terriers I got my name from) makes an appearance on this.  He pretty much always hangs out with me while I record and usually he stays chilled out, but this week he decided to start barking when I was about to do a vocal take.  I took it as he wanted to make a vocal cameo, so he shows up at the end of the song. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Greetings from a continent away I wish I could laugh with you today Hope that you believe me when I say That I'm always working on a way Measuring angles of shadows and the sun I'm charting the movements of the night skies Unlocking secrets of teleportation And soon you'll be in for a surprise I blinked my eyes and now I'm very sure I'm not where I was just seconds before I don't know what fate may have in store Walking up the pathway to your door Would you care to join me as I traverse the globe And we could go anywhere at all now Step through a portal and zap instantly away to Somewhere that's not here anyhow 2026 Copyright All rights reserved
