Poem

10:00 pm

6th street is crowded,
not unusual for a Friday night
Had a few beers, settle the nerves
Seems a constant, but I’m ok with it 

The back room is smoky, it always is
Peering through the haze
Holding my strat, feels good
Tuned and ready…always tuned and ready

Colored lights create silhouettes
Faces staring with no features
Ready to do this, for them or me,
both I think

Familiar opening licks, tensing but loosening
The energy hits me fast, their energy
and strings become butter,
manipulated into something heavy

They react, we react, rock lives
I can hear it breathing again
Marshall amps vibrate,
lost in the music, eyes closed, feeling it

6th street is crowded
and life is good

The 6th Street I am talking about is in Austin Texas. It is the center of the musical world in that city. You can find any kind of music you like being played live in any of a number of different clubs on this street

There are four parts to this series if you care to see them. Actually there are 5, but # 5 would probably be a bit much for this site.
