I showed my daughter this page, and she asked me to post this for her. 
From Bethany Sailer:

"Thanks ya'll!
I honestly hardly remember writing that, it was for a project senior year.. but I'm glad it was found, shared and we'll received.
I do feel I should say, that painting my father posted was a master study of Lautrec's "Girl on Toilet". And to better answer the question for what I am in school for, metal smithing/jewelry design and painting.

I appreciate the comments and have been encouraged to possibly pick writing back up again.

Oh, my! THAT needs publishing! Garrison Keillor reads poetry every morning at 11 am on PBS Radio. This is as good or better than what he reads, and I mean that sincerely, Bethany and Scott. What's your major? I hope it's English Lit and/or Journalism because I think you have the makings of being a great writer. Thanks for sharing this with us, "Proud Pop"! smile

Bill

Thanks Bill.  She is an art major , and really enjoys metals crafting and jewelry but paints also.The artwork in soundcloud for PUNK RIFF is her art also.  you may  not have been on my FB when I posted some of her work, so here is one that she sold.

As i said this was written by my daughter probably as she was leaving for her freshman year of college  I just found it yesterday.. she is now a close to being a senior. My god it goes fast!!


THESE THREE
________________

She was diversified, says the clothes in her closet, hanging up and jumbled with color;

Someone who held on to memories of her past, say’s the blue soccer jersey from when she was seven; folded next to the stack of of baby blankets from her infancy.

She had an eye for color, says the vintage portfolio which held her artwork; an avid painter says the various brushes that lay atop  a paint strewn easel.

But not a girl of order says the bed that went unmade almost every morning, piled with pillows in the corner room.

There were two little boys, says the pair of wooden bunk beds that face each other,
weighed down with plastic guns and cowboy hats.

A musical bunch, say’s the drum set in the corner and guitars  hanging on the yellow walls downstairs; they had minds with many visions; says the dozens of sketched on pages inside leather bound sketchpads.

Where did these visions come from? Asks the blackened slate pencil as it moves in many speeds to fill the needs of the boys. 

They loved their sister; says the the floral couch and blanket as it covered the three up to fall asleep during a movie.

Those three were inseparable; says the seats of the bicycles as they would fly through the back roads where the trees would smile down.

She left them, says her mostly empty room, down the hall on the left.

Naked hangers say she packed for days. Leaving behind all the things that constructed her childhood;

Picture frames on the walls say they watched her grow, once a playful teen, now a college bound young woman.

Things in her room go untouched, says the settling dust atop the floor where a bed once lay; and her brothers?

They sit on the couch, say the crumbs in the cushions, fighting, and arguing,

And an empty space where their happiness once burrowed.

only to say that today while doing bills i found something my daughter must have written her freshman yr of college and I just now, 3 yrs later, saw it. It choked me up.  I will be putting it in the poetry section tonight. anyone with kids, grown or not, this was one the most powerful things she has written and that I have read.

So sorry if its not really the right place to promote (if that's the correct word to use) but I just was so moved by it I wanted to let you all know it would be shared after I get home from work.

Beamer

Wow its only the 4th and you guys are all posting up! I have not even been to the man cave in 2 weeks LOL work and Detailing keeping my busy.

I think the remaining songs should stay in the hat and just do another drawing.

AHHH one I can actually sorta get by on! YEA!

Dirty Blues with Chuck Berry type power chords, starting in D to C and back toDand backto C and then A and let it flow from there.

This is not for the faint of heart, its a Stripper song!

Crush
Written on a impulse on  9/22 at 1145 PM while thinking of all the great heavy stripper songs and sleazy joints I have been in, its almost autobiographical in that a lot of it comes from me b4 I got married.

My 2 cents, ,, Ill echo what Roger has said, get it set up real nice, biggest enhancement you can do for enjoyment. And yes you have to get used to the neck, but seeing as how I have a SG (with wider necks that they have) It hasn't effected me to much, my 12 is an Ovation so its actually a little less wide I think.  Any way they are addictive, and remember when playing with others, ITS LOUDER.  so watch your strumming lol  smile   Gordon Lightfoot is great for 12 string songs,  and a great one to play that's easy is Copperhead Road (for when you wanna get rowdy) By Steve Eral.  The song has a mandolin, but if you play the 12, it covers and sounds almost the same, and you can get down on it! LOL Of course Mother and Comfortably Numb from Pink Floyd are great ones as well as Blaze of glory by Bonjovi.   One other trick btw, Tune 1/2 step down, and Capo the first fret. OR  you can tune a whole step down and Capo the second fret (Yea I think thats right, someone correct me if im wrong) OH an look for a 12 string Capo. like this  http://www.musiciansfriend.com/capos/sh … ductDetail

He is learning that too! I have been teaching him how to detail cars with me.  he now takes ownership using words like WE and OUR instead of YOU and HIS.  I still gotta
keep an eye on him, but he is getting it.

Scott, that is AWESOME!  I'm so glad the school the kids are at offers something like that for your kids.  Just wonderful.  That kind of stuff sure makes a difficult move easier.  smile

I found out from my wife that for the first two weeks he as just eating alone at lunch, But then sometime this past week  a table full of girls invited him to sit with them. lolol  So even though he probably did not say a whole lot, he is being noticed.  So I think it will get better for him.

Thanks for sharing Beamer, I wish I had the resources to go out and buy a Tekamine, ( hope I spelt that right?).

Phill,

I got lucky, it was an over stock (had thought it was slightly used, but all the plastic was still on the pick guard and tuner)  I just happened to be at the right place at the right time for a really great deal.
