for marvelous marvin hagler written may 1981...
At the end of Cape Cod Bay,
Tucked away with now the
Bustling, narrow streets,
Gulls, the houses and the shops
All close together,
Marvin is not alone,
But, he is.
Up front of the parade
He honors the City of Champions
Now one hundred years old,
Marvin and Pat and Goody say,
"Happy Centennial, Happy Day,"
The Champion is not alone,
But, he is.
Marvin is not alone,
People are plenty, the
Camp is downtown Saturday night,
Beside the pool the
Songs are sweet, it is busy,
Busy in the Inn, no, not alone,
But, he is.
Skipping, hitting, swimming,
Sparring in the night,
A nap, a thought, a prayer
In the day, having a meal
Of eggs, of fish,
The Champion is not alone,
But, he is.
In the morning a
Million pebbles of sand,
In the evening a
Million tears of sweat, the
Sweat and sand in the millions,
Marvin is not alone,
But, he is.
A phone call or two the
Night before the morning
Mail, later, jotting a card,
Answering a few, signing
For the fans, ever responding,
The Champion is not alone,
But, he is.
Marvin is not alone,
Goody is in the corner,
Pat is in there, too,
They chat, confide, laugh
a game of Hearts, map a
Plan of War, no, not alone,
But, he is.
The Champion is not alone,
Like none of us want
To be, or have to be;
He is with his hopes, and
Those he is hopeful for, the
Ones nearest to him, not alone,
But, he is.
As the days go ticking by
To the time and the stage,
Vito Antuofermo, Vito,
Be there on the 13th, Boston,
In the Garden ring, Vito,
Be there, then
The Champion is not alone.
Tucked away with now the
Bustling, narrow streets,
Gulls, the houses and the shops
All close together,
Marvin is not alone,
But, he is.
Up front of the parade
He honors the City of Champions
Now one hundred years old,
Marvin and Pat and Goody say,
"Happy Centennial, Happy Day,"
The Champion is not alone,

love by lantern shine / karen mal...
Singer songwriter mandolinist Karen Mal has a new CD - songs of the 30s and 40s, standards in jazz. Karen is a perfect voice for them.
Just the way the writers envisioned their songs being presented - I think.
The way June Christy would do.
And the band - Will Taylor; guitar, violin and viola. And too, there's an upright bass, trumpet, clarinet and cello. Interesting instrumentation - I think.
Reminiscent.
It's about corner Rexalls, soda fountains, jukeboxes, big band ballrooms, Roselands and Steinways. Look up walkups window fronts violins and dance pavilions - Tin Pan Alley.
The trumpet evokes Harry James and Helen Forrest; the violin, Will Taylor and Karen Mal.
Lantern is a CD for those of us who have a love for classic standards, jazz standards, songbooks, road shows and otherwise. Highly recommended.
Among the favorites on Lantern Shine is that jazz anthem, I Cover the Waterfront. Of course.
Some of the others: Stars Fell on Alabama, The Very Thought of You, Dream a Little Dream, Pennies from Heaven - you get the gist. Thirteen in all.
So, when everything about it makes sense, it's worth it - buy online at:
American Folklore Theater Love By Lantern Shine CD - Karen Mal
and

Originally from Connecticut, Karen lives and works in music town Austin, Texas.

for paul cezanne (1839-1906)...
At the table
Primrose and blue
Apples
And garniture
Ruffled sea, wings and drafts
After the day
Night blossoms stay
But
Leaf boats swim on the sky
Up to Scotland

for bob marley...
In a place
High
A warm breeze walking winding paths
Up the grassy hill
To the sea from the town
And its boats
And its stars
Birds
And
Swells
Gliding off to where to a place
And a pink house on a hill
A warm breeze walking winding paths
Up to it
High
A warm breeze walking winding paths
Up the grassy hill
To the sea from the town
And its boats
And its stars
Birds
And
Swells
Gliding off to where to a place
And a pink house on a hill
A warm breeze walking winding paths
Up to it
and in blue...
That train whistle
That boat whistle
Music on the lines of my yellow paper
In my red house
Scallop trim
And
Sunset
Gold on green branch on blue I'm on the telephone
Over the ocean
Reading you
And In Blue
A flurry
Popcorn baseball games and jazz
Poets:
Bob Marley
Jim Morrison
Chet Baker
Chet with his trumpet and voice
That boat whistle
Music on the lines of my yellow paper
In my red house
Scallop trim
And
Sunset
Gold on green branch on blue I'm on the telephone
Over the ocean
Reading you
And In Blue
A flurry
Popcorn baseball games and jazz
Poets:
Bob Marley
Jim Morrison
Chet Baker
Chet with his trumpet and voice

Rivers and railroads
