(Here's a new fiercely melodic guitar-driven rock song, which I wrote the lyrics between anchoring sessions yesterday at the Waterfront Blues Festival, yay!  )Down By The Waterfront By: Noah Eaton 7/2/06 Couples speed along the lane, on their ten-speed bikes, along the sparkling Willamette, when the summer afternoon is ripe, it’s hot as a pair of jumper cables, at a tailgate party barbecue, so I walk barefoot on the grass along the sidewalk, and lie there staring up into the blue. Down by the waterfront, in the summer heat, on a treasure hunt, for carefree festivity… The sound of meaty blues guitar, fills the scenery with electricity, young lovers drive up on cavalries of motorboats, just so they can lay back and hear them swing, a captain’s laughter echoes from Riverplace Marina. you can swear he commandeers Lady Washington, I feel I could chase this river down, all the way to Tualatin. Down by the waterfront, in the summer heat, on a treasure hunt, for carefree festivity… If you saw a heat wave, would you wave it right back, let it pack away your troubles, and send them off to extended summer camp, I can only begin to imagine all you’ll share with me, when you first buzz by like a dragonfly, with dockside delights doubly as divine, each and every hot summer night. Down by the waterfront, in the summer heat, on a treasure hunt, for carefree festivity... Down by the waterfront, in the summer heat, on a treasure hunt, for carefree festivity... "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" Mother Teresa |

I knew you'd wax poetic with all that music floating around you.  I've enjoyed listening to some of the KBOO livestream. /pip/Forum95/HTML/001349.html one I wrote while "streaming" last night |

No doubt, the summer heat "down by the waterfront" together with good music, can be very pleasant. A truly wonderful piece, dear Noah! And I love also Kacy's poem. Makes me thirsty in every sense! Today here the heat is so extreme ... Love and Joy. Margherita  |
