7PS: The President asked me to… 🎵

Read time: 1 minute, 375 words.

President Jimmy Carter is like an uncle to me.

In the 1960s, my immigrant dad arrived at Auburn University & rang the bell.

Lillian Carter (Jimmy’s mother) opened the door.

She was the dorm’s housemother.

She & dad watched Rawhide together.

Our families have been close ever since.

In 2022, my family & I visited President Carter at his home in Plains, GA.

His health had taken a turn.

I thought music might lift his spirits.

I played “Greensleeves” on guitar – even though it was the middle of summer.

(I only know a few songs.)

He loved it.

We talked about collaborating on a “final” project.

After two years of toil & tears, I’m proud to share what we created.

President Carter turns 100 on October 1.

Art is a form of love.

-Kabir
