Cosimo Matassa

At the birth of the Blues
Musicians wouldn't lose
When they'd have Cosimo tape
While the rest would just gape...

The hits flowed out fast
Some were lost, some will last
But had that golden touch
That we all love so much!

Cosimo Matassa
That cosmic "massa"
Left us a ton
From everyone!
