Chet is in me too, very much so. An amazing history this man had.
But the soft sound of his playing and ruby warm singing voice are unique and he brought out the melancholy from a piece with more depth of feeling than others. The quality of his faltering voice in late years added to the melancholy. An untrained virtuoso, non reader, yet held his own in big bands of his youth before his individual talent shone thru.
Yes this guy is one of my all time music greats. Thank you for writing a fitting tribute to this great talent.

\"Come Chet blow your HORN\"
Thanks ANDY ~ Brass is an essential element of JAZZ particularly Horn & Bone especially in the Swing Bands. I like to sing (Solo or Chorus) so I have always been a BMG (Banjo ~ Mandoline ~ Guitar) Man ! However I do envy the Horn ~ Clarinet & Sax Players with their amazing solos ~ I do have a go at piano & vibes which affords solo opportunities but the Horn is KING ! Thanks for sharing & caring ! Please check my Poem today and thanks for yours ~ You are a Blessing to MPS ~ Your Friend ~ BRIAN

dusk arising said:
Well we were all young yesterday werent we. Great that you friend has fond memories of her youth. A time of youth, vigour, exploration and excitement! Old though she (we) has become, there is the young lady still inside her behind those wisened wrinkles. Really uplifting read from you today.
P.S. The song was used as the title music for a film \'Blue Velvet\' a few years back starring dennis hopper, well worth a watch.

\"Looks left to right\" Oh Sh*t I\'ve gone and done it again! I can relate to this, haha. I hope you master the art of finding pills that match the color of the floor. It is not easy.

Well you made me smile too Andy! At least they are tablets and not messy capsules full of liquid vitamins which I have chased and then stepped on - what a mess! A good trick is to get down on the floor and look eye level if you are up for all that exercise........ ha ha

Doh! A fine write Gold. Some folk have vitamin tablets too, and other potions. They will rattle if we shake them - shake the person, not the bottle of tablets! lol.
We don\'t need any \'keep young\' tablets. We\'ve both aged well for being millions of years old.

Thanks ANDY ~ Ravel ~ Harp & a Van Goff Painting ~ plus a philosophical Andy Poem ~ a Blessing indeed ! I love the HARP ~ a Divine Instrument and I have Welsh Friends who are harpists & Penillion Singers. Some of my extended Family are Harpists. We are all dealt a different hand in life and the ACES you mention ~ Love ~ Art ~ Music ~ Nature ~ Words all enable you to dictate |Trumps ! Angela & I both play Bridge and it is so much better if you have a Partner who understands You and Your Game ! A Game of Bridge ~ with its hands and bidding and counter bidding is a good analogy for LIFE ~ Thanks for sharing ~ Yours BRIAN

We each are dealt a hand from which we play. I am thankful for the \'tricks\' my hand has provided and admiring of those who appear to have been more favourably dealt. Always keeping in mind the words of Max Ehrmann \"If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself\".

A brilliant poem Goldfinch!
You have certainly captured the essence of life in your poem!
Life is indeed a lottery!
From my own experiences in life I am discovering that you need luck in life at times to succeed.
