Analysis of Readying for Harmonica Class, Tuesdays.
Doug Blair 1951 (London)
Seniors’ Rec. Centre, Kitchener.
Fred with the heavy
German accent.
As much as invited me
To show up.
Make sure to bring
Keys of C and G harps
Yah?
And so I did.
About 8 or 9 in a circle.
Fran on piano setting tempo
And intro tune reminders.
Matthew brings his
Button accordion, self taught.
Nice chugging base chords.
And one of his own waltzes.
Guenther is the president
Plays classic Seydel models.
The definitive Amazing Grace.
Phil and Rick pop in
Whenever, with Bayou Blues.
Trudy insists that we get
Ashoken Farewell ready
US Civil War lament.
For performance
For some venue.
Also perhaps Oh Danny Boy.
And I Come to the Garden.
We are all having fun
Becoming friends with
a common interest or two.
Thank you Fred.
Oh ya, ya, ya.

About this poem
In truth I am communing with this bunch, and having a blast. Toned down, of course, for the blood pressure. http://puffnchord7.blogspot.com/
