Stella By Starlight

~*Marge Tindal*~

Such a stellar night
sweet Stella By Starlight
Blown in the blues note
sweetest musical emote
Swirling sounds surround
trumpeting Chet Baker is found
Playing again through my mind
in the music I find
sweet Stella By Starlight

A memory maker
from that trumpet shaker
Blown through life by the great Chet Baker


Chet Baker
Jazz and Blues Singer and Trumpeter
December 23, 1929 - May 13, 1988

*Mysteria ...
This one's for you~

Ah shoot Marge I am late here, and you know I love this one about Chet Baker.  You sure enough did him proud on this one, and the picture is awesome - I am going to try to find it on the web and buy it for my son.  Thank you for doing this one, and Chet would thank you too, he gave a lot, and therefore you two have that in common.  Thank you for writing this I loved it, and it loves me too!

Logan~
Just knowing you enjoyed my past-midnight blues
give ME a gentle smile !
Thank you.

Mysteria~
My friend, I kinda thunk you might enjoy it !
His pictures are getting very difficult to find on the Internet ...
May I suggest that you get some fine art photo paper and print it out for Todd.
Would make a wonderful gift.

SEA~
Thanks, gal ... glad you like.

PoeMinister~
Very pleased to know you enjoyed it.

InterLoper~
I would have guessed that you would be a fan
of Chet Bakers also !

Sudhir~
Really nice to know you liked it.
His music still stirs jazz fans worldwide.
*Hugs*
