Bahku - Avatar

Bahku ... My Poetry Soup avatar He's a musician, that guy, and that's his moniker ... 'stage' name ... alias Songwriter, producer, engineer, singer, instrumentalist Keyboards, bass, drums, sax, percussion, but mostly ... guitar That's his favorite and best instrument, very proficient Playing that and keys since age eight But he loves songwriting and production most of all A recording studio in his home, he can set his own hours That's a good thing, too, as migraines drop by anytime Primarily self-taught, though he went to Berklee for a short time And studied improv privately with Jazz great, Mike Metheny, (Pat's bro) He played many years in bands, some that toured the country Owned his own music store for a while, in Maine Spent much of his life in Pharmacy, (early-on in the family business) Is a Diamontologist who sold diamonds and gems wholesale And he spent a number of years in management That photo is a promo shot, you see It has and will be used on cards, posters, inserts, and the like And though he has many others for that purpose That is the one his manager and label prefer And he took it himself ... with a phone! Yeah, that's Bahku, that guy And he loves to write poetry now, too, like I do Because, well ... you see ... That Bahku guy ... is ME!
