"N" is for Notes, Songs, Singers & Songwriters - January 13, 2011

I cannot write a single note,

And I cannot carry a tune,

Thank heavens for special beings,

Whose talents make me swoon.

Some  put notes down on paper,

Which musicians then can play,

When sung by a wonderful vocalist,

It, literally, makes our day.

Other songs when sung and  played,
Have such a happy beat,
There is no way on earth,
We're not dancing in the street!

Of course, we cannot all agree,

On the music that we like,

But we willingly pay the price,

To see our favorites at the mike.

Old crooners like Sinatra,

Will endure throughout the years,

The romantic verse he sings,

Can start the sentimental tears.

The long haired lads from Liverpool,

Some fifty years ago,

Gave Beatlemania to the world,

Which still basks in its glow.

The rappers of today,

Might not be your favorite choice,

But, in this song by Tupac,

He praises his mother with his voice.

The dynamic Holland duo,
Who've become dear friends to me,

Are a singer-songwriter team,

Who are as great as they can be

Music can transport us,

To far parts of this earth,

To share in other cultures,

Or the countries of our birth.

Music helps to soothe us,

To clear our minds of stress,

It's so readily available,

A tool that most possess.

So, never let a day go by,

Without your music fix,
Program your cell or IPOD,

With your favorite mix!
