Xanadu may exude such percussive bliss Youthful romps and a coy stolen kiss Lightly tapping in jaunty melifulous splendor Orpheus muse prances playfully tender Pounding with swift light jazzy flourishes Heart and soul the xylophone nourishes Oblivious to troubles I cannot stop my feet Notions of love brightly swing to the beat Each crisply chimed note a gift beyond sweet

Thank you when played by the lights of Lionel Hampton, nothing less than magic. Thank you, Christuraj!

Lionel Hampton one of the old-time greats, vibraphone, a xylophone with tubes beneath it, as you know. The French love their jazz as much as the American if not more, Yann. Thank you, Robert
