These Are A Few ...

Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it. - Thoreau

music that sings

big hair

steel strings

pounding drums

cymbals' brass rings

all that rhythm brings

melody that swells and stings

reverberating darkness 'neath spotlights

a few of my favorite things

Author's Note

"I sailed on the North River last night with my flute, and my music was a tinkling stream which meandered with the river, and fell from note to note as a brook from rock to rock. I did not hear the strains after they had issued from the flute, but before they were breathed into it, for the original strain precedes the sound by as much as the echo follows after, and the rest is the perquisite of the rocks and trees and beasts. Unpremeditated music is the true gauge which measures the current of our thoughts, the very undertow of our life's stream." - Thoreau

Reviews

[Samuel Dickens]

It would be a very sad and boring world without music. Big hair or not, those steel strings and pounding drums are a winning formula. Me, my late brother, two of my sons, and three nephews all play guitar. I believe there's a common thread that runs through art, music, and writing. Turn up the volume!
