He is no longer here,
He left this world on this day,
This day thirty six years ago.
A man I revere so much
Just listening to that sound,
That sound he makes,
Makes on his trumpet
Takes me to another world,
A world of beauty and wonder.
The sound of his trumpet
Sounding like no other,
That smooth sound so unique,
So beautiful, so Chet.
No longer with us in body
But he is always with me,
With me in my body
With me in my heart
With me in my Spirit.

A fine tribute to a musician. Gone but never forgotten. He has left a legacy to be enjoyed.
I certainly do enjoy that legacy Cassie, I have most of his recorded albums. Thank you.

I said that twice (comment above); I say, I said that....
Do shut up Orchi, says Fido. lol.
I don't believe I've ever heard him, but I used to listen to Herb Alpert when I was much younger. Love the sound of a trumpet. Great poem Andy. 😉👍
Yes I too listened to Herb Alpert AP but Chet Baker is so wonderful.
