Mood Indigo


rising from his seat
clarinet in hand
slowly, oh so slowly
melting into the notes, the lyrics
the song, Mood Indigo,
ancient growl of the tune
the rhythm, the melody
drawing us all in to
the Mood Indigo

Nice Tie
partially non-verbal conversation with Richard Payne
of Preservation Hall Jazz Band
at Preservation Hall Jazz Band club
726 St. Peters Street
New Orleans, LA
He was the bass player for the band and
he was the bass player in
“Toots Sweet’s Band” in the movie
Angel Heart (1987).
I gave him my tie, right off my neck
(a tie I had bought from a pushcart at
Downtown Crossing in Boston).
