A relay of moods dribbles on and on when euphoric tunes kick in: Jazz, R& B, slow funk, wild pop igniting primal ecstasy, in the flesh...raw! Live music leaves me breathless as thuds of a drum, the intricate fondling from saxophones blast these veins... until intoxicated head convulses, Pulse beat raised at 110, my torso gyring in motions unknown— the cortisol of anticipation surging adrenaline doses gushing...just then, Philip Bailey whams a falsetto, higher than high in a climatic lift; my whole body possessed without Reasons on Fantasy’s electric stage— Another grasp of dismembering reality lures where smoky thirst begs for more notes; an elevated zing which drugs my soul … yet, nights ask for more live concerts. 4/17/2019 For Anthony Slausin: Your Amphetamine Contest ---------- Earth, Wind and Fire Live Performance Manila, 2009 Lead Singer: Philip Bailey/ Songs: Reasons, Fantasy Sample video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1FN6X_86NY

I can hit that note in 'Reasons' when no one is around and the stereo is louder than I am...i sound like his twin. I sung this comment in falsetto : ). Nice work Nette!

I think I'll pop in a CD. For some reason, I suddenly want some music.
