AUSTIN'S POT LUCK ANNUAL JAM

Bring a dish to load the tables with!
Bring your instrument to add to all!
Gather in the hall of some Unitarian Church
Wait for the first new notes to call
Flutes of the forest from all earth beneath us
Turtle Island unites with Gondawanaland
Now more musicians resurrect THE BEATLES
Circles are formed for more sing-a-longs
And if the crowd is too loud,go outside for a while
where smaller circles will restore your smile
Oscillate between the two ,hover near the tables
where new foods are added in the munch of a minute
and disappear in the plate of a song!
You may stay short or long-
Austin strums guitar songs/plays keyboard along
everyone who wants to joins in these songs
New folk replenish the tables of pleasure
New musicians add instruments of measure
Some return home with children in hand
Others stay long into the purple evening
And this repeats every year(this is 57!
as we come to celebrate the birthing of Austin
and he returns to us our reasons for celebrating-
food,music,goodwill and the pleasure of friends
Once these jams start,it is hard to end
And that is why we will all return again
to share his annual birthday pot luck jam!
