Story behind the song
Back in 1920 Robert Frost published "Fragmentary Blue", but over 80 years later I decided he really wanted to write a blues. I re-did the now out of copyright words so they fit into the blues form and the LYL Band has been doing this number since. Here's a version with Andy Schultz playing the lead guitar part.
Lyrics
Frost's original words: Why make so much of fragmentary blue In here and there a bird, or butterfly, Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye, When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue? Since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven (as yet)— Though some savants make earth include the sky; And blue so far above us comes so high, It only gives our wish for blue a whet.
