Taylor & Silk

I close my eyes and let the sweet sounds of Jazz
envelope me and transport me to another time in life
i could have been anywhere in the world
a smoke filled bar in new orleans
a street stall in spain endless was my choice
for the quality of music echoing around the room
was sublime....... sweet smooth silky vocals
backed by the tempo of the washboard
keeping time and intrigue with a delicate rythmn
intricately woven within the beautiful acoustics
of a guitar and the magic hands that skillfully
sourced the notes with such a uniqueness
allowing the man on wind to take you to places
you only dreamt of lifting you up higher and higher
a local experience with international flavours
steeped in time and skill and wrapped in a smile
so giving so warm so satisfying.............

About this poem:
This duet with the assistance of a friend playing warm up for a well known artist brought the house down with their original and amazing style .........A local pair leaving Oz to travel the world and play .....if you get the opportunity you must go and see them .......

A beautiful write describing a good share of unwinding with the dreads of day Nu.. Yes it is a soothing feeling feeding our soul when after a hard day's work, we do let our body enjoy and the mind to rest..and unwind...My experience in Port Douglas and Cairns and Brisbane on such a mood is so ever present in my mind.

Thanks for the share..Hello to the both of you...

Take care..
