Just yesterday I received a gorgeous 3D Christmas card from our KHS65 poet laureate Alan Yount and today my IN BOX presents the above-captioned entry on jerryjazzmusician.com. Once again Alan has created a poetic tribute that deserves a reading from our jazz enthusiasts! Or our poetry enthusiasts! Thank you Alan once again for adding to our ever-growing list of KHS65 members who remind us all what a stellar group of humans we have become. Aging stellar humans yes, but still our bright shining stars are still twinkling in the cosmos! As a group we sure shine! As individuals we shine on and on.
Wishing everyone a beautiful holiday season, and to anyone who is suffering from the recent terrible weather incidents, please know we are sending all our collective best wishes for recovery and wellness in any unfortunate situation. Mother Nature needs to get a grip.....
For Drummer Buddy Rich
many thought
drummer buddy rich
was the premier jazz timekeeper
for all of time.
*****.
how many of us
have to do the same things
over and over, several times
to get something down.
.*****.
buddy once said
he could not
read a note
of music.
.*****
.he said he had the timing
and tune, perfectly down forever
if he just heard a song,
for just once.
