Poem
I love listening to Bach on late evenings, especially his flowing ‘Ave Maria’, just as I like tuning in to Schubert’s ‘Ave Maria’, far too many Ave Marias! Nothing compares to Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight Sonata', it’s simply beautiful; George Handel had he lived would have found Ludwig’s piece rather cool. Amadeus Mozart, truly he was a musical genius, that Austrian son-of-a gun, it’s high there among the classics, the elegant ‘Theme from Elvira Madigan’. Give me Antonin Dvorak’s ‘New World Symphony’, so serenely majestic, that, like Tchaikovsky’s ‘Concerto in 1st Movement’, creates instant magic. Let me tell you a little secret: my days in the cradle had long ago passed by yet, till this day I drift off to dreamland with a few strains of Brahms’ ‘Lullaby’. Chopin he tinkers with his piano dreamily, that young romantic Polish chap - etudes, nocturnes, mazurkas, you name it, though he could not do hip-hop. I adore the songs of Bobby Dylan, though not necessarily his croaky voice; honestly, I prefer listening to other minstrels sing his tunes, if given a choice. Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell and Judy Collins, those gals sounded to me so fine; I once volunteered to produce them but they said “Are you out of your mind?” Could not do nothing with the three J’s, so I turn to Lennon & McCartney who once rocked my childhood with their irresistible “yeah, yeah, yeah”. Leonard Cohen, does that man ever smile? so moody and stark his music but I love him anyway, though figuring out his lyrics often makes me sick. Denver and Donovan’s stuff are sugary for my taste at times I would say and there are occasions when I crave for songs that sound kinda lonely. So I often give way to my old buddy from country land, Kristofferson man, and let his somber ‘Sunday Morning Coming Down’ get me all undone. Sad songs, joyful songs, all styles, will they ever come in just one package? so I won’t have to spend much on CDs that is straining my minimum wage. Given those great musical influences I have painstakingly mentioned above, it is a sure bet I am off to greatness if I just behave and do what I truly love.
