Tuesday Poem: "Broken World" a song by Ryan Bell (aged 9)

This Tuesday I thought I'd post a video of my son, Ryan, playing his original song, "Broken World". I filmed him in our backyard with the last snowfall we had here as a backdrop. Ryan has been learning the guitar since he was about six-and-a-half and he started composing his own songs as soon as he had a reasonable number of chords mastered.

Now I don't claim to be Leon Narbey or Alun Bollinger and I was only filming him with the movie mode of our small Olympus 770SW digital camera, but I am reasonably proficient with a camera. On the original video that I filmed the top of his head was not cut off, but somehow a compression type thing happened when we uploaded the video to YouTube. I think it gets somehow cropped to fit the YouTube framing format. So I apologise for the top of my son's head being missing, but here he is:

I hope you enjoy it.
