# Come and Go Blues - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/come-and-go-blues/ - Published: 2015-01-01T06:59:00-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout The clean air and city streets of Atlanta surprise me as much as the Ferris wheel located downtown. It’s as good a place as any for the last day of two thousand and fourteen. [[ The skyscraper lights twinkle in the early night sky, and the festivities haven’t even started yet. I wander safely between buildings until I find a little place to grab a pint and a bite. _Table 1280 _has glass walls on all sides, comfy lounge chairs to relax in, and southern belles to serve you. _“Stout and lobster sliders please.”_ [[ After a second pour, I take my last selfie as the year is fading fast. I don’t even remember what I was thinking about, as age is crippling my faculties. I might consider myself lucky to just make it back home after tonight. [[ The empty sculpture outside the [Atlanta Symphony Hall](http://www.woodruffcenter.org/) seems a cruel joke as I walk past. Sometimes the lone journey is not easy for me. [[ Yet here I am, another town, another show. [[ I suppose not every show I see can be amazing. The drunken revelry of the crowd wears thins, conversations of strangers whispering in my ear are muffled under the guise of beer. I smile and nod, not having a clue as to what they are saying. The band plays on…. [[ The stroke of midnight comes, and everyone turns to kiss someone, the entire crowd, except for one lone person. I stand uncomfortably, waiting for an eternity for the music to start up again. The girls on either side of me wish me a Happy New Year, and rub my shoulders. I can feel the pity and it crushes me. Gregg seems to see only me, and picks up a guitar. Screams of delight from the crowd, yet he seems in his own world. Silently he starts to play one of my favorites tunes…. [[ The “come and go blues”, and ain’t it the fucking truth. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/come-and-go-blues/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Come%20and%20Go%20Blues&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fcome-and-go-blues%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/come-and-go-blues/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/come-and-go-blues/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/come-and-go-blues/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/come-and-go-blues/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
