lexington market
headphones on
duke
drop me off in harlem
ring dem bells
city syncopation
black stuff
culture rhythm
and it was happening
in my ears
and in my eyes
one in the same
life and art
fusion
life is beautiful
it creates
just by being there

I like this in its entirety. I cannot pick a few lines to say, "Yes, this is what I like."

thanks for reading and for the nice comments. nice to meet you happy trails. yes, joel, i agree about those lines - i think that is the beauty of folk music - how it extends from the environment - from the life of the culture in question. i listen to bluegrass, for example, and i'm in the hills of appalachia or on a farm with chickens running about as a dog chases a goat and a pig wallows - these natural rhythms of life that are expressed, and then translated into art.
