i have not bought a record for 20 years

nor am i up on the downloading
i watch youtube(am on youtube-and live
means the last Led Zeppelin reunion @the Erwin Center
or a Bob Dylan redux show at that same venue
I did go to see the Circus-but i missed Lady Ga-Ga
and have fallen too far behind in Taylor Swift /American Karoake replays
Before all the Beatles die,i bequeath their remains to Cirque De Soleil
so that a suitable soundtrack might accompany their moving acrobatics
I love LIVE music,by living artists,who weave melodies and harmonies
in front of your very eyes,and who make and create at open mikes
a vision of aural delights.We who do not sell cannot buy-just exchange energies
We beg and give our art like life away-and when you say "we have seen this before"
we know you lie-for all we are is original,and what happens next is new
and i am listening now to the harmonies in you,too
So when we meet in stringed moments-it is not sophistry nor puppetry
that teaches us to hear-it is the sound of melodies stolen from heavens unknown
that trap us in the act of listening to you.
