Audience of One

-




I never knew
He needed to find
Someone to listen.
Cash was getting
Mighty slim
And drugstore sold elixir.
Daughter coughing
Pretty hard, and
What was there to fix her?
Wife was taking off
From work, but
How the cash was needed.
Here I played
My little harp, but
None passed by to heed it.


Soon the words ran
Elsewhere, rough
And tears flowed
From the portals.
Listening.
Caring.
Tough smiles wearing.
The best to
Find in mortals.
Yes they heeded
Good lines needed.
What a chance of merit.
Sing the Lord, the most adored
Love it, praise it, wear it.
The box near full
Of coin they pulled.
In two short hours.
I swear it.

Port Protection Series on Geographic Channel. Exhilarating.

A fascinating National Geographic series. Very small village on Alaska Island without roads. Only about 95 residents who love the wilderness and the various assignments of mink trapping tree felling clam picking halibut hauling octopus grabbing deer shooting plank trimming garden land clearing northern lights gazing etc. They realize the fullest meaning and worth of community. For example one guy hauls in halibut at 110 pounds. Couple of good meals for 15 families, He says. Fascinating to watch successive episodes.

Behave with as much relaxed and smiling professionalism as you can muster. People will give you lots of credit. Oh yeah, they will. Now listen to this goal and example with a harp. Her name is Indiara Sfair. She is from Brazil. Not bad to look at either. Definitely she appears to enjoy what she does. And she plays well with other expert musicians/singers. Consider also how she uses her cupped hands. Sort of a sounding box. Or visit the Harmonica Barge. Robert Service poem https://internetpoem.com/robert-service/the-song-of-the-mout-poem/ Adam Gussow, good teaching, bluesy stuff. “Sloppy” stye is needed. Christmas tune And let us finish fancy with Buddy Greene. Incomparable.
