Ancient Rock 'n Roll


If you want proof that rock music was meant to be,
there's a place in Pennsylvania that you should see.
The rocks in this place make the most beautiful sounds
when hit with the force of at least a few pounds.
Dr. JJ Ott was the first to play them long, long ago.
I hope to someday visit and make my own music show.

This rhyme is being shared at D'Verse Poet's Pub and Holes in My Soles,
just two of the treasured gems hidden in my blog rolls.

I'm also sharing this rhyme with the You Tube Tuesday crowd
because I think the video will make them giggle out loud.

  11. I watched a 'rock' concert in Assisi before and it's pretty cool hearing the different tones...I wonder how they could differ...

  12. A friend of mine visited that place. It's actually called "Ringing Rocks Park" and it's in Bucks County, PA. A beautiful area to visit -lots of covered bridges, rivers, etc.

  18. Rachel, I apologize for not leaving a comment when I watch the videos. Sometimes, I get caught up going from one to another, other times I just don't have words to say. I do watch them all tho. I wonder if I could get my mom to make this place our next vacation spot.
