Music

Lively refrains of a sweet melody Frenetic picking of a banjo plus three Piano player with tips in a jar Head shaking boys playing screaming guitars Symphony orchestra, soft brass and strings Meditation rhythms with hums and pings Amateurs on You tube streaming songs they wrote Large gospel choir singing full throat Mellow, sounds, of a saxophone Loud boisterous blow of a slide trombone Rap or hip-hop thumps the new generation Blues are therapeutic in moderation Soprano or baritone, opera or stage Little black notes on a manuscript page Regardless the occasion, regardless of age Someone is listening to the music that plays original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner

A rich celebration of my second favourite passion... the only thing you left out was the polka, (just kidding!) Young and old, the classical and the kids' raucous enthusiasms, you have pretty much encompassed all the varieties. Well done Daniel! Best wishes, Keith

Wow! Dan, you did not miss anyone from what I could tell. However, I think that the folksingers, country, and bluegrass could not all be put under the banjo. Wonderful write, Dan.

I was afraid if I tried to single out everybody, people would get bored and lose interest. It's almost too long as it is. Thanks for your interest and support.

But that's exactly why I love the sax... it's gives the sexiest blues sounds. When I wrote lyrics for the music he composed I always said, "More sax!"

Thank you,Lin. Personally I prefer the blues but I can take them all except rap or hip-hop. I'm just a little too old to understand.
