Inspired by a poem of Nette's. ty Nette

When you hear the gentle notes that seduce or the crashing chords that vibrate leaving your hairs standing on end and goose bumps adorn your skin. The sweet melody of a mouth organ mingling with sharp piano notes. The screeching notes of violins harmonising with the wind pipes. The tenderness that entices and enhances as a fiddlers fingers and bow fly entrancingly all coming together as a whole. The husky croon of a singer melding with spine thrilling chords. This and oh so very much more is the sheer enchanting perfection. Surely music is indeed soul food the bass guitar throbbing deep inside, whilst heaven wards the rumbling rhythm soars.

hey, shadow. Came to see if you had any new ones up but don't have time to look thru your oldies. This really may be my last time here till Sunday. Wish me luck getting to Memphis. I kind of doubt joe will do it for me, take me to see Graceland, and in that case, I will be back here tomorrow night!!

what wonderful imagery about different kinds of "music" ranging from the human voice to the instruments of fiddle and guitar. Indeed, a sweet poem about sweet music.
