ANACHRONIZM MMCMLXVII - 14 Year Old Fiddler — The Orange Blossom Special - by Del Ray Cross

This poem was written and recorded by Del Ray Cross (that's me!). As of this posting, It is one of over 4,000 poems in an ongoing project I call 'ANACHRONIZMS,' which I began writing in 2002. You can find them all, should you have such an inclination, on a blog that I began in July of 2005, at anachronizms.blogspot.com. Since its inception, I have continued to build upon this project and write and post these poems to the blog nearly every day, and each of these have been presented atop an original photograph since late 2011. Most of the photographs were taken by me, but some are family heirlooms that I have collected over the years, or photos taken of me by friends and family, etc.

This poem was originally posted onto the ANACHRONIZMS blog on January 26, 2020 and was recorded for this YouTube playlist on September 12, 2023.

This YouTube playlist, which I began to record and compile a couple of years ago, now acts as a companion to the ANACHRONIZMS project. My plan is to inevitably include individual recordings of all of the poems embedded within the blog itself, but currently they are all held here in a YouTube playlist, which resides at the following URL:
