Damn it's cold outside, But I got summer breezin' through my mind. I'm swaying to a beat found deep where me and John Lee often meet, In the moments lulling on the back's of hours when im left alone to heal my soul and bring the blues to soles of my shoes; tap dancin' the glory on that golden path. The one that always feels a little less alone when his guitar is singin' us home, and freedom is dancing on ends of apron strings. [This message has been edited by muted (07-24-2004 11:41 PM).] |

just sitting here listening to him singing..and my oh my..my heart is bursting... his voice seems to bridge the gap in time...and still bring a deeper meaning to what is already beating inside. Damn, i feel some things all the way to the bone. Like i suppose many of us do  thanks Martie, for finding it uplifiting |

Gosh, it's good to read you again! Reading your poem was a delightful way for me to start my day! I could really feel your mellow-Jello mood! I'm a just dancing the blues away with those blues! For the love of John Lee! EA |

Made me smile, dawn. I'm kind of a blues fanatic, and you had me tapping my foot and humming, "a-haw-haw-haw-haw"! (I'm sure I looked quite mad just bursting out into song like that too!) See what you do?  I know, I know, we can blame it on John Lee! (he wears these great shoes, too, y'ever notice?) |

This has a lovely jazzy , upbeat feel to it but should 'were' in the beginning of line five be 'where'? Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

 I am loving the fact that I betca I listened to him before you were even born, and darned if we are both not still quite fasionable. Yup, this era of musicians can get your innerds thumping like no other, and Dawn, you actually had a beat going with these words creating a tune - so you did him proud. Imagination is more important than knowledge... Albert Einstein |
