What is recorded here
Forrest Reid blue plaque is a blue plaque in Ormiston Crescent, County Down, Ireland. Perhaps he sat at a window there, watching rain strike glass while composing melodies that needed no proof of worth. Maybe the house held breath during his years, saving quiet for the shape of his music. Imagine a keyboard warm under fingers, the room leaning forward to listen.
