Pre-Concert Panorama

Cocked heads at curious angles
Fingers probing
plucking
plinking
Seeking a certain sound
Not quite yet...
Restlessness increasing
As if we who have paid good money for this are not---
Ah! There it is
The lights dim...

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 9/8/2019 1:29:00 AM I feel your anticipation mounting in this write, almost to the point of aggravation, but then the sweet sound only seconds away as the lights dim - great write. hugs Jennifer.

CayCay Jennings Date: 9/7/2019 11:24:00 PM I relate to all of it, felt myself shift in my chair, except line 8 which describes people I divorce. Just kidding. When you dimmed the lights, I could feel the anxious audience dim their thoughts, relax, and enjoy. All the best ...

Thanks for making the send-off so pleasant. I really do owe you. Lights out. Shhh….
