Night Music



I have a lot to write about. So much in fact that it feels a little overwhelming.  I want to write all about the release and creation of the record. About good people I've recently met. Kind people I've  known. Brilliant musicians I've worked with on the album. The songs. And some less important details on yummy food I've eaten, waxing my 97 Geo and the compliment a 7-year old gave me, etc.

And I will try to a little later. 
But first I wanted to post a poem a wrote a while back that came to mind because It seems to fit this weather and the mood of the air.
In honor of the music on my roof and window last night...


Night Music

Of all the night’s music I love the most
It would have to be rain.
Calm, conversational liquid.
I crave the rhythm
The rock and sway
of lovely midnight tones;
Soothing polyrhythm’s
of unconventional chords
Anyway it comes -
Dripping, melting, pouring.
Warm, luke-warm
Solid, fast sheets of cold
(Is there such thing as luke-cold?)

Give me a night of this music
And I rest peaceful every time.
