Tag Archives: duet

he on vibes and she on cello

one was spritely both were mellow

lively lady hopeful fellow

.

she played stones’s she’s a rainbow

he felt groovy played in day-glo

59th street bridge song way low

.

both wove stovetop stuffing steaming

riffs and contrapuntal streaming

simon and mick jagger dreaming

.

one crescendo teased another

hit the heights then let them wuther

done and spent they eyed each other

.

love of sorts was made, and how

but the knitting of her brow

promised more…but not just now

A few weeks ago I had the privilege of hearing a father & daughter duet on ukulele and harmonica. The gentleman is 92 years young. The lady has been my friend for more than twenty years.

The words:

Daughter & Dad blow harp & pick
It is Magic but it ain’t no trick–a
Cat’s meow in a reedy blur
Keeping time that is loose yet sure
& Dad & Daughter’s musical fun
& games: years long yet new-begun
