If my life reached back that far I would have been quite privileged to experience the atmosphere above the enjoyment of the big bands\' mere sound and video recordings.

Bella Shepard said:

With this beautiful Tommy Dorsey song playing as I read your poem, it just melts my heart. I can see why you picture your parents dancing, and why it is so meaningful. Music has such power to preserve memories and you have created a rare gem here. Thank you for sharing!

Music can evoke memories
Unfiltered by distance and time.
You cared so for these reveries,
This my tribute in simple rhyme.

Bella Shepard said:

Dear Andy, I have to say that you had my toes tapping, head swaying and a great big smile on my face as I listened the the musical accompaniment, and read this delightful poem. So much joy that it is infectious, and a fav!

Please tell the name of that hotel -
I’ve stayed in some duds in my time.
Fawlty Towers had nothing on them:
Short-sheeted bed was one such crime.

Words Of The Wise.

Wisdom has to be allowed a hearing with quiet attention which sadly is rare in these noisy days. Good points made here Andy.

(i can\'t help but feel these words
apply to more than those fools
on our news screens and front pages, Andy)
I recognise \'the fool\' in your words
I see him lurking in mirrors, where
I try to scrub my reflection, clean
of shower fogged, self-doubts
and reality warping ego\'s, foils
one
morning\'s gleaned wisdom, at a time
(Always appreciate the depths in your wisdom, dear Poet)
I read and attempt to heed!

orchidee said:

Doh! it\'s true, even Proverbial, in the Bible book of Proverbs.
Something like: \'A fool utters all his/her mind, but not a wise man/woman\'.
I, of course, like the sound of my own voice in singing. I\'m the only ones who does! lol. Someone\'s gotta like it. heehee.

And there’s Garrulous Gertie down the road;
Also Blabbermouth Bill across the way -
Loquacious Linda in full throttle mode.
Now Desperate Dave accused of foul play……

Music For Love.
Bella Shepard said:

I fell in love with Cavalleria Rusticana the very first time I heard it. It never ceases to make me smile and tear up just a little. This is truly beautiful dear Andy and I can understand the depth of love that it reflects.

Pie Fever.
Bella Shepard said:

This is such a fun read my friend! For some reason I now have an overwhelming desire to brew a cup of tea. Now, what about the pie?

Pie Fever.
Doggerel Dave said:

There ain’t nothing like a good cuppa tea:
Though it’s more like a mug ‘o tea I likes.
Just don’t stint on the leaves and let it be;
Tea a plenty, I’m contented – no gripes.

Fun parody, Andy.

I remember in school with music lessons, singing \'On Ilkley Moor B\'ah Tat!\' Was that the start of all the troubles, i.e. when I first sang? lol.
(The tune fits a hymn too)

arqios said:

Herbert, oh as a child I had this notion to collect all of his recorded work. I also wanted to name a fictive character in a novel or story von Karajan. LOL. But here you are at the 1:50 mark and could only agree. Thanks for sharing Andy!

Music For Love.
Doggerel Dave said:

Music can enhance many a moment
And add to satisfaction felt all round.
This moment added to the bestowment
Of each other’s love, now more closely bound.

Considering my general aversion to love poetry Andy, I however girded my loins and did the best I could……It’s the challenge, yer see… LOL.

Nelson Went to Battle 2
Bella Shepard said:

A wonderful tribute to the tenacity and courage of a great hero. Beautifully written my friend. Also love the accompanying video, a pianist who becomes one with his instrument, it\'s always a marvel to me.
