For our recently departed fellow songster.

I have poured over many of Rittmo's lyric with guitar in hand trying to put together something that could get anywhere near the quality of his writing, I did manage to do something with his lyric "the star of christmas" but that made me more frustrated, I wanted to work on one of his more serious lyrics, whilst "the star of christmas" was great writing. I really wished i could get my act together and take on one of his more serious lyrics.
it is with regret that this happened on the evening of learning of Rittmo's passing, he was truly unique among us and will be sadly missed by his fellow songsters.

I Don't Know You

I don't know you, but I imagine
you're like a tiger lilly in the rain
wet and wild, and just a touch insane
long wavy reddish brown hair
eyes of hazel eyes that share
all the beauty of which I am fond
all the magic, that is the pond
the pinwheel fog
the golden rays dancing in between
a cherished soul so calm so sirene
I don't know you, but I can imagine
you're prettier than a dream
