Brian Strand Poet Narrative

Vignette-Ooo Ooo Tra-La-La

Singer,songwrter and piano man
We,fifties teens remain a fan,
Classically trained,a musical chameleon-
Oh Carol,hungry years, took him to Amarillo
But never,solitaire,this brillant Brooklyn fellow.

Tribute to Neil Sedaka ,71  years young this year
