I think the difference sometimes is manifest when the emphasis is the emotional tenor of a moment rather than the plot of a narrative or the expository power of an essay, your excellent piece has all of these features, which is so freaking cool that I am not happy for you at all, I am just jealous 😉. You really hit the poetry high points in this stanza which I especially love:<br /><br />She leaned against<br />the piano,<br />a legend,<br />a modest mountain<br />of passion and pain,<br />laughter and learning,<br />singing her slightly salacious,<br />saucy songs from the 1920’s<br />and I loved every minute<br />of it.<br /><br />Thank you for this it is tender and lovely, so glad you told her of your love. Okies, now I gotta go download some Sippie. 💜Lona Gynthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515940835167757466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12624992.post-15155385026500964982018-08-24T21:05:25.757-07:002018-08-24T21:05:25.757-07:00Your poem breaks my heart.

He just wasn't politically radical enough, and unfortunately he took it out on those of us who did come and appreciated him. I'm sure a humiliating experience for him...and for those of us who loved his music.judydykstrabrown.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086573605647351785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12624992.post-71272138106721903532018-08-24T17:04:58.950-07:002018-08-24T17:04:58.950-07:00It sounds like it was exactly the right thing to s...It sounds like it was exactly the right thing to say to Sippie -- great video of her!johttps://jowrites.aylard.ca/c-wordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12624992.post-2078625865533604302018-08-24T13:54:10.174-07:002018-08-24T13:54:10.174-07:00Wonderful thing to say to Sippie.Wonderful thing to say to Sippie.Frank Hubenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058591172624203875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12624992.post-60128347601334024942018-08-24T07:42:00.767-07:002018-08-24T07:42:00.767-07:00What a magical, memorable moment!What a magical, memorable moment!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13134589375016804713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12624992.post-57908135438967026692018-08-24T07:04:08.767-07:002018-08-24T07:04:08.767-07:00I love this, and you.

Yes, I first saw Sippie via Dave Letterman in 1982 when Bonnie Raitt brought Sippie in for a duet. It was heaven. Bonnie also helped introduce me to another blues legend, Charles Brown (but I learned about him more from Buster Poindexter!).<br /><br />We got to see Bonnie last year, and she was mighty mighty good. Yes, at the heart of it all, is the blues. Yes, getting to tell Sippie that I loved her was an honor. <br /><br />Thanks Ameleh!Buddah Moskowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839068145732552328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12624992.post-2848992586861186632014-06-10T03:46:04.444-07:002014-06-10T03:46:04.444-07:00the blues def have a way of connecting us...

Have you ...Mosk, you had me at "Sippie"! Have you ever heard her duet with Bonnie Raitt on "Woman Be Wise"? So great, the two generations together. The blues... the only genre of "popular" music that never ages, no matter how old the singer. I mean, Mick Jagger is gross singing his paeans to young girls, ditto Rod Stewart. But give me Bessie, BB, Ruth Brown ("Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean)... so many greats. Your "I love you" touched me deeply, because she needed it, I know in my heart. This is, intro to final note, a lovely piece. AmelehSharp Little Pencilhttp://sharplittlepencil.com/2014/06/10/if-you-dont-like-the-v-word-dont-read-this/noreply@blogger.com
