so you like jazz

Posted on July 3, 2012 by Susan L Daniels

not really much of an opening
in a club
where that’s all they play

so what
on the piano backed by bass
is how I feel tonight

and the answer is no
I live it sometimes

and sometimes its just
background music

for my life.

    There are no blues/jazz clubs close to me which is a real shame I have always wanted to go to one.
    and the answer is no
    I live it sometimes

    feel those lines most

    There are times… when song and spirit meet, of the same mood.
