As complex as simple is.
There’s much to be done,
And that’s all within its time.
The door closes shut!
Man with a guitar,
Tidy dressed in black and cap.
Whose this character?
Bank balance demands,
That I work to top it up.
It takes interest.
Look out at the light,
Of the moon on a clear night,
Posing unblinking.
Cold water pouring,
Gur-gurgling into the glass,
So, so refreshing.
The day looks so good,
The sun is shining brightly
I’m feeling lazy,
I might play guitar,
Sing a song or write a song,
When I find the chords.
Ah!, Django’s ‘Nuages’.
Quelle bonne musique, bien sur!
One of my fav’rites.
Django played guitar,
Made me listen, made me learn.
And appreciate.
Rev. Gary Davies,
And Mississippi John Hurt,
And Big Bill Broonzy.
I learnt guitar young,
With the bluesmen by my side,
Through books and records.
Went on to Ragtime,
Jelly Roll Morton and more,
Of course, Scott Joplin!
