Making Music | Rhyming Lyrics

I had the honor to join some fantastic musicians last night who were kind enough to share their microphone with me at the local coffee shop. While there, I wrote and read this.  Now I’d like to share a wonderful evening with everyone…

Hanging out at Perks
listening to music live
and reading a poem or two
feeling glad to be alive
There are voices so melodic
with a banjo and mandolin
It’s no wonder that I smile
as my feet tap to the rhythm
Guitar songs so original
about cowgirls and snow
and my favorite piece
from that fiddle band I know
and a solo songwriter
sings of dawn and wedding days
you can actually feel the love
through the notes that he plays
to a sweet voiced guitar man
playing his classic picks
trading Elton’s piano
for some gentle guitar licks
and a young Kamas artist
belting out Dylan blues
and his own compositions
that Sundance films should choose
Yes I’m in good company
with musicians keeping time
helping me with my rhythm
and inspiring more rhyme

Special thanks to Carl Ahern, Walt Evans, Ron Jones, Doug Swensen, Brandan McAfee, and Dharma Sawyer. And a very special appreciation for Kaia Sorensen for providing a time and space to share our craft at Perks.
