Old Lp

As I dusted off an old jazz LP A musical genie appeared to me With seven notes in his hand And a wish for each one So I wished to see some singers and bands Then I traveled back in time On a C note To hear the great jazz bands of old My first stop was with the Count Count Basie caressed the piano As the saxophone turned out gold The bass guitar was strumming away And I listened to Billie Holiday As she sang 'Blue Moon' I then hitched a ride on a D note And that took me to see the Duke As I watched him tickle the ivories I was taken for a ride on the A train Where I heard him play Moon River I left the train on an E note To see Ella Fitzgerald sing I did not want to depart Until she sang "Cry you out of my heart" Then a G note took me away So I could hear Nina Simone play I still had a few notes to spare As Nina sang "My baby don't care....... Before I left, I wanted to see one last show So the B note took me to see Louie Satchmo With his trumpet blaring To "When the saints go marching in" It was a great musical affair And I rode home on the melodic notes of the great trumpeteer
