Congratulations

A great big Jive To The Monkey congratulation is in order to Guitar Chick Nikki Tatom and her man, known in blogger land as Bert, but known to her as J.D. Who knows what his real name is, but anyway, they are engaged!

Bravo, bravo! I'm sure Nikki will have some details up at her blog, which you can check out from my Links sections.

Speaking of checking out, Nikki will be in concert this Saturday night at Sunergos, opening for Jaime Barnes. The show will run from 9 to 11 pm. Perhaps she will sing an ode to Bert, or J.D., or whoever he is. Here is a poem, dedicated to the newly engaged sweethearts:

by Edmond Rostand

And what is a kiss, when all is done?
A promise given under seal -- a vow,
A signature acknowledged -- a rosy dot
Over the i of Loving -- a secret whispered
To listening lips apart -- a moment made
Immortal, with a rush of wings unseen --
A sacrament of blossoms, a new song
Sung by two hearts to an old simple tune --
The ring of one horizon around two souls
Together, alone!
