In the words of James Taylor, It's me and my guitar. Always in the same mood! Then again, maybe my guitar is just humoring me - sigh -
Just me, I'm an old Folksinger that still plays out once in a blue moon. Thank you for listening to my primitive acoustic songs. I am a retired Army Bandsman, a certified Wall Wacker, and am currently a teacher. Next time I retire I am going back into Folksinging. It's the perfect occupation really, no hope of fame and fortune and definately keeps me humble. Folksinging just naturally makes me a better person I s'pose.

Story behind the song
I guess this is a cautionary kind of song. There's more than one way to keep something next to your heart and sometimes it's to protect your heart!
Lyrics
I Keep It Right Next To My Heart Charles W - T Consaul 1. When you left me I promised I'd never forget And that was one vow I will never regret I'm proud to say I haven't broken it yet I got off to a real good start I've thrown out your letters Your pictures and cards The box wasn't heavy so it wasn't hard I never looked back, I never let down my gaurd And I never have fallen apart C: I just wrote down a list Of the times that you lied The times that you hurt And the times that I cried The times that you took what was Left of my pride And I keep it right next to my heart You never took it So I keep it right next to my heart You didn't want it So I keep it right next to my heart 2. You told me that I could get by without you And I didn't want to believe it was true I wanted to think that my whole life was through But I'm glad to admit I was wrong Because when you came back to see me today And tried to pretend you never did run away It gave me the courage to stand up and say So long to your sad old song Chorus (Don't slam the door) (Don't give 'em the satisfaction!)
