Tonight, A Key For Satin Shoulders |
Ticklefingers Senior Member Posts 710 Louisiana |
a tickle of the ivories and the gigolos and gigolettes turn in your direction a lesson learned amidst the smoke and the stale smell of lager netted legs and vials of love for sale you play them in the key of melancholy satin shoulders begs your touch in E and the tears begin to well the foreign grinner laughs up his puke as his bottle demands equal time satin shoulders looks to your fingers for wisdom and truth the foreigner slaps her behind and trollies off …with her in tow over her satin shoulders she looks back …just as you make the key change She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Ahhh . . . The life of a saloon . . . er . . . lounge piano man . . . Sees it all taking place through the smoky haze and bleary eyes, a good man on the keys doesn't need to look at 'em . . . ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Whether it be strings or keys JerryPat, a quick glance or two is all they get. I want to see the tomatoes and beer bottles BEFORE they arrive! 88's friend She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

I admire the way you can do a quick study of people in a few creative words. Your imagery engages all the senses. Works for me TF ~L |

I'll see what I can dig up JerryPat. There's nothing current that's been posted that I'm aware of to link to. The only posted videos that were done by me was promotional stuff for a search engine called 'Scour". It was pretty funny and fun to do. Frankly, I don't even know if Scour survived. I barely did! (You too, I suspect... ) 88's friend She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Miss Lori, If what you say is true, then I am but a humble reflection of your own talents and abilities. Perhaps we travel on parallel roads, you and I. If you notice the distracted driver in a small blue convertible, that would be me. Give me a toot and a wink as you pass by. Many 88's friend She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |
