Jazz Boat Journals

August

     The spiders are busy at the Jazz Boat in August. The French door with it's many panes has cobwebs at every corner. The floating thistles catch on the webs and the morning sun makes them look like snow flakes.
     It's time to brush them off and McCoy Tyner's C.D.-"Today and Tomorrow" is the motivation jazz. "T'N A Blues", "Three Flowers", "A Night in Tunisia", "Autumn Leaves", "When Sunny Gets Blue". "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home to", move me to finish the job.
     I was lucky enough to meet and listen to McCoy Tyner at last year's Mt. Hood Jazz Festival. Mt. Hood's 20th Anniversary line up is terrific. Joshua Redman, Ramsay Lewis and Dr. Billy Taylor, Roy Hargrove, Dianne Reeves and Nicholas Payton will groove every jazz fan . Next month, I'll give you a report.

He is web master
using thousands of spiders
to spin a word wide web
folding parts to patterns
bridging our differences
bringing together distances
unlimiting the limited
including all in the golden
web at the end of the rainbow
