Ancient Jazz incarnate
rising from his seat
clarinet in hand
sharing a prayer with us
Slowly, oh so slowly,
melting into the notes, the
lyrics
another place and time
the song, Mood Indigo
Ancient growl of the tune
rhythm, melody
whine of his clarinet
drawing us all in to
the Mood Indigo

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).
