Misty

Tried to sing Misty
a little while ago
Karaoke being something
grandpa added to his bag of tricks.

Remembering his high school stuff
playing in a regional big band
Newport Jazz Festival

Nothing major but cool backstage
Prudential Center Boston
Count Basie, Sarah Vaughan

Watching their joy meeting again
Dave Brubeck ready to play
and our band...

Hello.

It's time to think of
good times too
not simply dwell in hell
distant memories
remembered.

If the world's vibration
music is the sun
thank you Lord for
the blues...

and for Sarah Vaughan.
