rock and roll
what a time
to be at
the beginning
english invasion
fab four
hand holding

stones never
satisfied
byrds eight miles high
cream room is white
hermits by herman
paul revere
and his raiders
dave clark five
likes it like that
don't monkey
around valerie

animals house
was rising
sky pilots too
purple deep
water smoking
in the garden
of eden
hendrix
guitar on fire
joplin wailing

go go boots
watusi swim
line dance
beach boys
dream of california
and the good
vibrations
annette and frankie
itsy bitsy bikini
lust in little
boys heart
sand and surf

don't forget
motown
be a pip
michael plus four
tempations
papa was
rolling
supremes dinah
boxtops too
super fly
shaft is a bad
mouth shut
stevie was a
wonder

super tramp
breakfast
journey
to the center
chewy nugent
who
guess who
zepplin turns
a page
halen, tyler
rip and snort
you can see
too many to
mention

gimme shelter
walrus
at the beginning
and I like it

The Songwriters and Singers of Yesteryear

Sunday, July 12, 2009


song meant alot
words crafted
told a story
feelings
tortured soul
sometimes happy
laid to rest
for all to hear

looks of singer
afterthought
compliment
the effort

wordsmiths
sometimes called
blessed
from within

eighty eight
keys
used by many
to write
the soul
of the verse
placement
perfect
rhyme for a reason
piano holds the keys
no limit

like carole king
james taylor
to name a few
their music
brings me back
to my happy place
or sometimes sad

the good music
will not die
newly discovered
by the young
following increases
what was good then
is good now
