tinkle, sway, hum…

 

 

Winter, add Woo, stir

 

…all the notes make medleys,

it’s a quiet nightclub sound,

it’s okay to listen

   with the other ear,

and hear the lilt and the lift

   and the living rhythms

      without trying too hard

         to pay attention,

and nod in time

   when an old refrain

      makes a hole in the buzz,

and you hear again

   those words that throb and skip

      and nestle into

         those last few tinkling keys…

 

Hingham, MA

Bob Winter and Elaine Woo made beautiful music at Linden Ponds

on an otherwise ordinary April afternoon.
