To the jazz club I went,
As I do every month.
It would be different this month,
A guitarist was playing,
Not the normal type of groups
That I enjoy so much.
Out he came
With a bass player and a drummer,
Just the three of them.
He sat down, guitar on his knee
He started playing.
He was amazing,
I had never heard sound or skill
Sound or skill such as this.
He then played a second song,
So slowly and full of passion
That drew me out of my body,
I was drawn further and further
Into his world,
His world of music.
I was taken Over the Rainbow
As his notes sailed into the ether
With me sailing with them.
What a guitarist.
All evening he played
And the audience and I
Were silent,
So silent as we listened,
Listened to his glorious sound.
I had had a good day
But his music took me,
Took me to another place
Where music ruled
And brought peace,
Brought peace and harmony,
Peace and harmony to all.

- Comment from author about the poem: I have never seen such a wonderful musician, Remi Harris was absolutely fabulous. I was not expecting the evening to be so good. The audience were totally enhanced by his music - as was I.

So very true d a.

When it comes to music I’m no expert,
But I know what I like when I hear it.
However new instruction doesn’t hurt -
In the case of music I’m a half-wit.
There are only two types of music Dave, that which you like and that which you don't like.

Music touches the soul where nothing else can reach. A nice write that takes me back to places I have been in my mind and soul.
So very true soren, music is a great healer in life.

There are artists and musicians that just adds to our humanity and inspires us to edge closer to our full potentials. Thanks Andy.
So true Rik, thank you.

The power of music to transcend, to take you where you want to be, to lift the burdens of life, to relax. and bring peace. A fine tribute to music's bring harmony to an otherwise chaotic world. - Phil A.
Thank you Phil, music certainly does that to me, if only others would listen.
