Listening to Old Tunes Play (poem) by Susan K. de Vegter on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on July 27, 2006

The creativity in the hearts, minds and souls of those who lent their lyrics to song is alive and well in you and your pen. Without the art of writing and song this world would be a lesser place. They soothe us in time of turmoil and shelter us from the bad in ourselves and the world. You express yourself so well your poems have a life of their own. To me they are immortal. meaningful write.

It's those phrases, those hooks, that you can't get out of your mind, like "Your once, twice, three times a lady, and I loovvveee you!"

All I can say is in the old words, I guess this is on my mind...

Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.
Georgia, Georgia, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines

There is nothing like good old country music, the Ray Price and Faron Young kind and there is nothing like rock and roll, Elvis, The Doors, Janis, Iron Butterfly and Led Zeppelin kind.

I'm staggered... by the wealth of art and creativity which seems to be mined from rich seams in your part of the world, Susan. It is endless - and you are part of this abundant river that continues to flow, and others at the Den with you. What a privilege to be an artistic and creative part of this lush musical and poetical vineyard. I could drink of your vintage all day long, every day of my life! And this is a fresh and delightful tribute. TY Kate xx

This was great ... we were weaned on the same stuff it seems.

Yes, for me, those old tunes do have a lot of magic, and restorative, power in them.

Thanks

A trip down memory lane, that is steeped in nostalgia and joy..

" Georgia..Oh Georgia...No Peace can I find...
Just an old sweet song...Keeps Georgia on my Mind "...

It is amazing that somthing that is so much a part of our lives from the cradle to the grave is taken for granted. So many memories are associated with songs and music and where would we be without those first tender waltz's that for most of us were the first contact with the opposite sex. You really nailed this one down Susan. Wonderful as always.
