This keeps on happening,
The surprise that music
Brings in my life.
I have been listening to music
For sixty plus years,
All types,
But mainly Classical and Jazz.
I think I know a great deal
About them.
But I don’t!
A friend of mine
Gave me a jazz album,
Of someone I did not know.
It was so good
I played it twice!
I just didn’t believe
What I was hearing
Could be so good.
So yet again it showed
The more I knew about music,
The more ignorant I realise I am.

A great parable for the whole of bloody life IMO.
Good stuff Andy.
PS: Now that's my kinda jazz....
A great metaphor for life itself, we think we know it but the more we learn the more we find that we know nothing at all. Well written
Good write Gold. I've got all Stockhausen's music - so you won't have to hear it! lol.
There's a depth to you orchi, I rarely see........
