My Music

Noodling over piano keys
In a new age sort of way
Chords merging and blending
On a beautiful autumn day

Strains of sevenths and minors
Resolving to majors they say
Then celestial notes from the string pour
And it's you that I hear them play

Playful laughing notes out of the keyboard
Jazzy with a hint of pure classical
Passionate feelings abounding
Every note just purely lyrical



~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning.

~ Billy Wilder

always have liked the word "noodling..."

and I can picture noodling over the piano...I've been known to do it myself...in that "new age" way from long ago...

Karilea-

sometimes it comes out pure 'blues' other times like variations on September Song - but I guess it's always me - Thanks

Play what is in the heart of your emotions and feelings at the time.  That is where the most beautiful music comes from anyway, but I am sure you are aware of that.  Wonderful read, thank you.

Bill...noodling...can you eat those or is the taste too sharp or really flat??  I must cook me up a batch on my old upright, now if I could just figure out how to light the thing.

Loved the poem!

Mark-
I play practically nothing from memory anymore - a talent I had as a child - that seems to have left me almost totally now - but i can play chord progrssions - and "noodle" melodies above and below them. I assume what I'm doing is from my 'heart' - Thank you

Martie-

They come in two varieties - with and with egg yolks - I tend to imagine the 'without' as being more 'flat' and vice versa Thanks ~G~

suthern-
sometimes I must rely on reading music -until muse come back ~thanks
