They put an advert in the UK on the channels for a Jazz guy drinking bottled beer. He drank in a pub in Wandsworth as I did, the only difference, he didn't pay, and he said 'he gone off and become, because he couldn't get the work, a Government Barrister'. Silver Note is for him, if he is alive and blowing the horn. The other is for Johnney. Dave Silver Note A silver note Creating your ability To see Dancing in your eyes Rubbing that itch You can not reach Echoing a vision Seeking it’s end Dancing in the sunlight Journey, destination, challenge Sideways in Before you know Kissing every crystal Moon Of it’s delight *********************************** Johnney John married the daughter of a famous English Comedy guy I met Johnney and talked to him a lot. Because he couldn't keep his turnstile in the plus, I'd go and get the turnstile back in credit. He invited me back to his place in Brixton and we sat and toasted bread over a gas fire, while he worried whether he would have the money to have any heating tomorrow or the minimum of life that he had become used to in a room with one other room Johnney always blamed himself for the crash and what happened, but at least we now stop people driving without large amounts of sleep. He lost his wife and child because he was a Stage Manager - last out, first in, and he was travelling down from Newcastle. I didn't write for this Johnney, I wrote them for the fact, that if you try to stop, even now, letting some Manager stuff you, feeling they are ok and can get away with it, that they are wrong, because too many people are learning and their eyes arn't green. Dave ******************************************** A shabby coat, a soaken man A rail he leans against His home is nothing His thoughts are gone His shelter is the fence He has no where to go And no where I can take him He wouldn't trust me if I tried I wouldn't try to force him I knew a man who once was sick When passing a drinks cabinet He fought for goodness all his life And then he didn't make it I like the rain nd feeling safe I like to feel, I feel But this is beyond us all It needs some kind of deal Help them, help themselves But not by extreme dogma Help them by the volunteers But help them Don't just log them |

You write so intensely about these life stories, there is the pain of existence, when dreams do not realize or are suddenly erased. You know the human fragility well and you write well about it. Silver Notes leave an aching echo. Love, Margherita |

Margherita You write so intensely about these life stories, there is the pain of existence, when dreams do not realize or are suddenly erased. You know the human fragility well and you write well about it. Silver Notes leave an aching echo. Love, Margherita I dont know any other way to write. If I didn't care about it intensely, I wouldn't be on the site I do really miss words I write at times that will never be heard or treated as the fact, that I have somehow 'failed on a day job' Thanks Sunshine And the eyes have it my 'London Sunshine' dave |

quietly reflecting too many Johnneys a sad tale, Dave music must speak for itself not be managed to death |

I know Midnight Was it just that time that I hung from I knew as the air changed For it was just to be there Midnight I lost those words That moment That produced Tiger Woman I think I need to start concentrating On words Because at 57 Even with my just doing a technology upgrade on a 52000 (noughts are exact) payroll for ATG I am struggling to get work in IT I wouldn't mind if they were competent and disciplined to understand Poetry Dave |
