Premium Member The Ballad of Daniel Osborne
Daniel had an old guitar...
That he could never play 
It sat stood in it's stand... 
Until he took it out one day 
And Daniel never taught himself...
How to play that old guitar 
He never thought...

Believe me when I say 
No one wants to be me, not yesterday, not today 
The grass isn’t any greener over here, my dear 
I ask no one to walk in my orthopedic shoes 
They’re...

The Last Words
I miss my father everyday,
He is no longer there...
I miss him dearly,
Somedays too hard to bear...

When I envision him at the table,
Or playing his mouth harp,
An instrument on which he was,
Oh so very sharp...

Phantom breezes,
Like...

Ol' Blue
One eye was brown, the other blue,
Australian Shepard his breed-
a workin' dog with one heck of a nip
to the heels a cattle an' steed.

Just a little fur ball when I got him,
but I well remember...

Premium Member Remembered Love
Ashes waft over the meadow 
a jet stream of sorrow, 
beckoning the widow to the 
edge, down to the river. 

Contented epoch, at the 
creek where the wolves run, 
he lived and laughed. 

We watched...

Blues Music
Listening to the Blues
Slouched almost supine
Next to special person,
Her hand clasped in mine:
Mississippi picking,
Bottle neck used as a slide
St James Infirmary playing,
End of a long Blues ride.
Now a mouth harp break
Exhilaratingly raw,
Finger picking guitar
Carrying the...

At the Threetuns
Just a single footlight
Just a single chair
A solitary figure
Sitting comfortably there,
Right ankle resting
On his left thigh
Guitar resting 
Comfortably high
Mouth harp held
In its neck stand
Strings being plucked
By his right hand.

And he blasted out the blues
Rocking the...

Hunters' Nite Out
The band was on  a beer break
When old Doug got up onto the stage
In a hotel down on Main street
He was playing that old song 
On a battered old  mouth harp that spit
Then...

Premium Member My Harmonica Cries
My harmonica cries, 
in tones of silver sighs and golden tears; 
wailing bittersweet joy.

Sound of sadness; sound of laughter; 
it’s in the wailing that color blooms.  
Mouth-harp memories fill many family albums.

Circle of breath,...

Premium Member On MacDougal Street
I'm nobody that you'd know - 
maybe you can call me Joe.
Walking down MacDougal Street,
I had no one to meet.
A New York night without a friend,
I dropped into The Bitter End 
to escape the cold...
