Paintings with music theme

A more beautiful instrument has never been

designed. The golden hues of the wood grow

mellower and deeper with age. The curves are

both provocative and engaging. And the

sound . . . it can weep, shout with joy, laugh

with abandon, sing with pride. The fiddle is

perfection of design.

It’s don’t matter time of day,

the music’s got a pull,

like the gravity, man.

It don’t know

no time or place.

You play . . . because

if you don’t . . . you aren’t.

the drummer

Hands dance wildly with heat and sticks.

Playing on the edge.

Drives your beating heart.

Big,

wiley arms wrap about you.

the drummer

the Piano Man.

lost in time and space,

keys,

pedals

and body one.

an experience created.

SYNERGY

Mandolin player moving with the rhythm

of the tune,

his soul becoming one with the instrument,

the rhythm,

the mood.

The Fiddler reaches that ideal condition of harmony, oneness with his muse. In a state of freedom from pain, worry, angst. Freedom to follow the rhythm of the strings.

In recognition of Sonny Boy Williamson, Walton Horton, James Cotton, Junior Wells, John Mayall and all the pioneers of the blues harmonica. No more soulful sound could be so visceral as the Blues harmonica.
