Musical Magic

Princess Kitty had a spooky experience last night. She went to wait in a pub whilst Growly Bear went to work. She took her book so that she would have something to do. The book was about the point of guinea pigs. She read and read for hours and hours.

Then something really weird happened. She had just decided to have a little rest from her reading and look around her. As she raised her head she heard a sound. A sound of music. It sounded familiar. It was a guitar. And someone singing. And she had heard the guitar played like that before.

Then she realised that the man playing and singing was a man she had seen before. The night she went to see a concert of Nick Drake music. She couldn't believe her eyes and ears. She wished Growly Bear could hear it. She wished he could hear it because she knew he would like it. And she wished he could hear it because then he would know magical things happen to her.

Musical magic.

The Young One

Princess Kitty has been to a concert. A concert of Nick Drake songs. She had heard a few before she went but enjoyed hearing more. She likes the plaintiff sounds and the poetic lyrics. She thinks it is very very sad that he died so young, never knowing how famous he would be, not living to see himself get the acclaim he deserved. She feels sorry for the people that loved him.

She wonders how someone so young could know so much about guinea pigs. She wonders how he could have become so technically brilliant at such a tender age. Life can be very sad sometimes.

Growly Bear has talent too. He can do magic. He is starting to understand about this more and more. This week he has been encouraging the naughty bears he works with to do difficult things and to see things differently. He can get them to do things most people could not.

Princess Kitty wonders where Growly Bear's magic will take him. At least there is no chance of him dying young like Nick Drake.
