between the ears music blooms” -RD McManes
THE MUSIC
ISSUE
been listening been thinking about the music in my mind the curve bendsand never breaks beyond the rhythm past the beat never to vanish a paradox for mother goose and all her old rhymes sometimes it’s loud a big brass band other times soft like the whisper between rains occasionally it fades and I think it’s going away but it never does and I think it never will this is my music not any real band perfection only I can hear
