Put the horn to your lips,
make it wail, make it rip.

The blues' has got to you,
like a hole in your shoe.

Let that horn blast it out,
don't let there be a doubt.

Reach up for that high note,
let it moan, let it float.

Let the sax do its thing,
Getting' down, in the swing.

The piano man's here,
Even with a tin ear.

Everything jammin' now,
the blues are gone, and how.

Fantastic, Jerry! Inspiring.

This is so good that I searched and found the music I listen to now ... Same Old blues by Knopfler and Clapton! Woaaahhhh ....

Love,
Margherita

This reminds me of the French Quarter musicians... the first time I saw one on the corner after Katrina, I cried... in so many ways, the wail of a sax is the song of the city.

Absolutely suthern. I have stood in the shadows many a night and watched and listened to the music of street people. It still gives me goosebumps . . .

Thank you for stopping by to listen . . .
