Ellington

what was it like to hear
that which they had never heard
from black man in black tie?

-- Mark Ziegler


In friend's dad's records
found Monk Plays Ellington --
my drifting world slows

--Dan Hanrahan


L. Allison

bars and clubs gone by
from diddley bow to Paris --
Luther's riffs remain

-- Kate Ryan Hudson



jimmy reed

soft words ooze and soothe
high hats drop the stomp and clamp
the gut tar to the back

-- Phil Spirito



Pat Hamilton

Ordinary guy
trembles, she cries from the sky
Mixed up, shook up girl

--Eric Beaumont
