LOL! I suppose I have my husband to thank for my appreciation of this kind of music now! Yanno how something you hate eventually grows on you if you are around it long enough?

There is a smile in music from older times,
That sings my spirit into a frenzy
Patience rests in those songs.
With the fury of innocence,
They touch my heart enough to lift it.
Notes finger my darkest days,
Uplifting my sighs til I'm lightly free.
Voices clearly speak,
Absent of the angst of today's themes.
Rhythm unsinks my mood,
And sends me soaring into cloulds of giggles.
The little girl echos in me,
As I think of her in the sun,
Twirling til dizzy,
While the wind lifts a twirling skirt.
My happy thought is this happy music.
Clear and non manufactured.

I so fully undertstand this!!!

Yesterday I listened to a steel drum band, Bram Brata. They did Calypso music of Trinidad, very enjoyable. Yet, when they began some big band tunes from the 40's, though my adolescence was 50's and early 60's,
I was thrilled through and through and carried into the era of fabulous musicals and wondrous memories, though not my own. Amazing!

Enjoyed this poem immensely, too!!!

Passion's beat changes with the times and the music of those era's reflect them. 50's music with it's street corner beebop or the soulful strains of the early 60's. All good stuff..............Husband?
