Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Midnight View With 'The Band' For Final Waltz

There I was on holiday in the late 70s
at Blackpool on North/West English coast
free as a bird, I was then in my mid-20s
loved theatre then, especially cinema the most

I found a midnight showing for one night
'The Last Waltz' featuring 'The Band' plus guests
it would mean a very late night to bed
but worth it all, put my stamina to the test

It was a fab performance of 'The Band'
especially Robby Robertson taking the lead
bringing back great memories of their songs
a night to remember, it certainly was indeed

Also great to hear Eric Clapton
and Emmylou Harris taking starring roles
two of my favourite stars are still yet
really makes me glad that I scored that goal

This was one of my cinema highs
no doubt about it, truly fully great
an experience to rave about even now
even if that night came morn so very late
