Long Play

First notes of music
Waft from the stage
Bring us a message
From a different age
Tender emotions
Handed ‘cross time
From old composers
To your heart and mine
Beethoven, Brahams
Mendolssen, Bach
Jazz, folk and country
Blues, Soul, Pop and rock
All with a purpose:
To make our ears ring
Sway us with feelings
Have our souls sing
May their sweet music
Not fade away
Oft’ may we listen
Long may they play
