If Music Be the Food of Love, Play On

Scott Joplin, Paul Simon and the Beatles pop, The Stones, Dire Straits and, Yes & ZZ Top. Bob Dylan plays his heart out, Northern Soul, Rod Stewart, The Traveling Wilburys do their stuff, And as if that isn't enough, there's Jeff Wayne, With his War of the Worlds in a musical vein. Cajun, Bluegrass and Dueling Banjos to boot. I got Spike Jones & his city slickers, what a hoot. Bill Haley, Leo Sayer, and some Monkeys abound, Each one giving out their awesome own sound. Now Meatloaf is a band I love to hear. Coming close behind is the great Chris Rea. Eric Clapton always stops me in my tracks, Charlie Parker and Stan Getz on their Sax, Some great big band sounds at their backs. All this and more on my headphones tonight, Just listening to music has been my delight. I have cleared all the shelves, nothing is left, All on my spare hard drive, I'll not be bereft. I hope the charity shop this stuff can sell, So more folk can enjoy this music as well. © Dave Timperley 25/10/2018
