The rain’s falling down,
Silent and wet on the ground,
The bird waits for worms.
The lessons are learnt,
The text books are torn and burnt,
What’s it all about?
Old music’s playing,
They call it old but I can’t,
It’s so very good.

Music generally I love music and do write and compose. I play the guitar and enjoy that. I have an eclectic chose of music.

And time after time,
I tell myself, I’m lucky,
To be loving you.
Noone to talk with,
But I’m happy on the shelf,
Ain’t misbehaving.
Songs of long ago,
Drifting through the cool evening,
Those idyllic days.
Thursday 06/06/19 Dinah Washington
The way you’re acting,
Is you is, or is you ain’t,
My baby, baby?
A funky rhythm,
What an awesome beat this has!
Still her voice shines through.
A favourite song,
Is, ‘September in the rain.’
Dinah Washington.
Monday 13/05/19 Al in St. Ives
Here’s ‘Al’ in St. Ives,
Harp player that calms seagulls.
Lets you keep your chips!
The notes ringing out,
Brings the people down the hill,
And calls the tide in!
A little magic,
In harmonic melodies,
Sitting by the sea.
28/04/19 Ragtime
I had always thought,
That Scott Joplin worked alone.
And he did mostly.
Syncopated tunes,
One took seventy two years,
To be recognised.
The Entertainer,
Found in a film by this name,
I know yiu know it!

Another week gone,
The ground’s warm where the sun’s shone.
At last, weekend’s here.
Banana smells waft,
Through the, not so busy, train.
Faint coffee smells too.
Finding new music,
Exploring new and old stuff,
A lot is, just stuff!
Wednesday 24/04/19 The Morning Train
Another warm day,
A crowded train to London.
Feel the little breeze.
The music’s playing,
Many songs in different ears,
Each one to their own.
Saturday 23/03/19 Queen
Like ‘Sheer Heart Attack’,
From Brighton Rock with great guitar,
Thank you Brian May.
And the “Now I’m Here.”
I grew up with it back then,
In my early teens.
And “Tenement Funster”
Do you recall 45’s?
It all seems so old.
Thursday 21/03/19 Music
Dinah Washington
Such great phrasing and vocals,
Return to it oft.
Madeleine Peyroux
Has these similar phrasing
I like her a lot.
There’s an abundance,
Of great music and singers,
I’m listening now.
Thursday 21/03/19
Well resting here now,
Waiting to get away home,
Mayby half seven.
That is enough time,
Too many drinks that is bad,
Pointless chatter too.
Distracted just now,
Work talk and jokes and nibbles,
All is going well.
