"While his guitar gently weeps" for A Little Drabble Do Ya!

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

A drabble and a half:

Napoleon stood in the shadows, watching waiting for the target to appear.

Sitting nearby on a chair outside a cantina an old man played away on a guitar; his fingers deftly plucked away at the strings, creating a melody that could lull you to far away places in your mind.

Solo pulled his attention away from the music as the target stepped into view. He stopped in front of the old man, as the music captivated him. He too was a guitarist and admired the hands that were creating such a beautiful music; it was as if the guitar were weeping.

He suddenly realized those were young hands, and panicked as a pair of blue eyes looked up at him from beneath the grey wig.

Turning to run, he encountered Solo.

“Going somewhere?” Napoleon asked.

“I guess not,” the target replied as Kuryakin stood and handcuffed him.

“Great guitar playing.”

“Thanks,” Illya mumbled.

Nice scene, and very canonesque.

Thank you! Canonesque is an ultimate compliment!

A true musician. He could still admire the playing in spite of who the player turned out to be.

Did you expect it was Illya playing? "D I just loved the version of George Harrison's song. I heard on an online radio station called Accuradio.com. And I immediately checked to see if it was on You-Tube. Thrilled that it was.

I wish I could play like that.

PS, I found that guitar chart all right, but in my 'cleaning' I must have put it somewhere else. sigh, what else is new with me. One of these days you'll get a surprise email with them.

Thanks for the comment!

I half suspected it was Illya, but that didn't detract anything from such a good drabble.

I shall keep looking out for that email. LOL.

Thank you!

In the mean time while you're waiting for me to find that chart, retune your guitar Top string D, the A, D, G, A, bottom string D

If they're light strings, then you may need to restring them with medium strings because of the tuning as the tension is different.
