Trumpet Rhapsody In Blues

Trumpet Rhapsody in Blues Walking down New York Fifth Avenue no longer got a spring in my step anymore my trumpet wails ‘cause time’s upside down my trumpet wails ‘cause time’s upside down It’s raining oh so many tweets light has gone out of life oh I feel so fenced in and I don’t even know where to duck and I don’t even know where to duck over one hundred days and still so many more to come for shame, how much longer will my trumpet have to cry? Walking down New York Fifth Avenue no longer got a spring in my step anymore and my trumpet still wails filled with so much pain for an unstable branch sways over my life and its demanding voice can’t escape . . . (the lyrics are on the 2 minute video above)

oh how cool that it's with the trumpet music. Yep, tweeting instead of trumpeting (except if you include the president). what has the world come to? Great idea putting this with the music.

Bonjour, Maria, not everyone around me agreed that there were blues like undertones in the music, so I am really glad you thought it was a match and honored you liked it so much.

Good Afternoon Miss Anne-Marie. This is grand. Honestly. It is energizing and makes the reader feel good and alive. Thank you for that. This is a New York and musical moment for certain. Well done in its entirety. It was an honor turning to your page. Have a wonderful afternoon.

I am so glad you enjoyed this piece Lisa. This song was a challenge which was worth picking up. I am not sure my brother is totally satisfied with what I did with it (that was his challenge), but humor is more his domain than mine:)

Wow! Thank you so much Darren but let me tell you, this 'Tango Teasing' of yours is a sultry gem. That my friend was simply fabulous in every respect, and your very creative and clever formatting is influencing some poets on the soup and adds layers to how we experience poetry. 'Wheely Neely' you're shaking the poetry tree:)
