An old man and his wife were holdin' hands
T & G have been married for nearly 60 years. Their marriage has raised successful children, a number of successful businesses, and their generosity has benefited their community and many individuals and families. Now they are there to care for each other as a perfect illustration of the covenant of marriage and their commitments to their vows of nearly 6 decades earlier. I had this wonderful photo because I had the privilege of interviewing them for their 50th anniversary celebration. They are among my very best friends.

Assignment
Music and photography share similarities in many ways. Both are forms of artistic expression that appeal to the large audience but leave enough room for everyone to make sense of it in their own way. This week we are marrying these two art forms by shooting a photo inspired by a Line From A Song. This is one of those challenges where the only rules are to take the photo yourself the week of the challenge. The rest is wide open! You can recreate a scene from a lyric, or display a feeling that you feel embodies that lyric or song. This is a line from a song, it doesn't need to be the Title of the song. Also, remember that we're a global community, so feel free to take a photo that's relevant to a song in a language of your choice - local or otherwise. Naturally, please write a little in the description so your fellow Framers have an idea about how the image and the song lyric speak to you. Music encompasses all aspects of life - the fun, the romantic, the crazy, the melancholy, the thoughtfulness, and, oftentimes, socially relevant topics. So, have fun with this week's theme. Okay, now get out there and rock this challenge!
