Watched Bette Midler singing “Wind Beneath My Wings”
Brought a tear to my eye, such an emotional tugging on my heartstrings
Like only Bette can do
A love song so touching, so true
Her smile exudes warmth and passion as she sings...

an LP where a mother should be

                                     flip and repeat

                            embracing divine madness




*Bette Midler, Divine Madness Concert Tour 1980

Pleasantly
Bull headed, bird brained, chicken and foxy
From a bramble of a family tree
A lover of Cohen, Midler and Dennis Lee
Who regularly feels awe, paralyzing angst, and humility
Fearing the end of birds singing, seasons changing and liberty
Hoping to see a Purple Martin, a Gyrfalcon, and fifty
Proudly from Vanier
Weird

At eight
I latched on like a babe
in need of nourishment 
a positive role model
when my role
was never model
her message sent
I need not be gorgeous 
to be fabulous 
and found my beauty in that
M is not for mother
that divine love I
miss
yet never met
M is for Midler
who shaped my 
Madness   You bet!

Forever indebted 
my eternal thank you
Bette

From Minneapolis Minnesota three pop female musicians were born.
LaVerne, Maxene and Patricia, known as the Andrew Sisters
They introduced the United States to Jump Blues and Calypso
I recognize some of their hits instantly when I hear them.

Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree with Anyone Else But Me.
This trio’s music was jazzy and rhythmic, it was toe-tappingly fun.
Their songs had an up tempo, preceding rock and roll
Bette Midler is someone who can still sing in their unique style....
