My Life Of Music.

Goldfinch60



What an evening!

And evening of such wonderful music,

Music from the songbook,

The American songbook.

The whole theatre was smiling,

Tapping their feet,

Dancing the Lindy Hop.

The music pulled at us all,

Pulled us into the wonder,

The wonder of this music.

Heads and shoulders were swinging,

Swinging to the beat,

The beat of the music.

Such a wonderful evening

And made even better by him,

A singer so very wonderful

Bringing joy to my heart

As he sang those songs,

Those songs I knew,

I knew so well.

The evening took me back,

Back to those days with my Dad

As we would listen together

To the wonderful music

That has been brought,

Brought into my life,

My wonderful life of music.

  • Comment from author about the poem: We went to a concert last night, the concert was 'Voices of Swing' - it was fabulous but the icing on the cake was a singer called Marvin Muoneke, he was absolutely superb. The video of him I have put up does not do him justice.

    Ah but does it make you move? Do you shuffle onto your aging feet and trip the light fantastic with your dance moves ... i di in the privacy of my own home... the comedic 'grandpa dancing' sketches we've seen all to often on TV dont do my outrageous steps justice. How is it for you?

    • Goldfinch60

      I still do the same steps as I did in the 60's - sometimes nothing changes in life.

      It may be worth you giving Marvin Muoneke a listen, his album The Young Man with The Old Soul is streaming on Amazon.

        You didn't get up and bop did you? I don't think their insurance would cover it if you did.

            gorgeous, can hear the smile in his voice
            luv the natural vocal reverb effects
            in some of his notes..
            thank you, another talented name you've introduced me to

            • Goldfinch60

              Thank you Mek, we thought he was superb and I would certainly go and see him again.
