A swooning audience is a happy audience I always say Gene.......I admire your Jew Harp prowess and your gift of eloquence my friend. I also relate to "the dark side of the family".........I am indeed the Black Sheep of mine.......Sending you much peace and love.....

There are plenty of inuendos in this dream,
and plenty of simulations & symbolisms :)

Gene - Loved the humor in your dream. You struck the right note with each line(ha, ha! or is it LOL? The image in:

my lovely friend Maria laughed
when I stood to play
a Jew�s harp adaptation of
Mendelssohn�s Violin Concerto in E minor
through my musical nose.

especially struck me as funny. No wonder:

Music lovers from as far away
as Akron came to (your) debut
with the National Symphony.

Thanks for the laughter. - David

The entire fantasy is flamboyant and highly visual, a coup de theatre, ... virtuosic guts on the Jew's harp/ a nosegay of shamrocks?...The self-effacing absurd humour is so warming. Simply put, this is great.

I get the front row seat. Bravura of rapidly descending notes, A Night to Remember where the music builds up to the innovative cadenza and you dressed in haberdashery crossed between the Maharahji and Mod Squad! Jew's harp guru - the curtain draws near the final coda! Brava Gene...

If you're going to dream and write a poem about it, you might as well shoot the moon and the sun out of the sky and that's what you did here. I don't know if you intended humor but that's what I found. My dreams are mostly violent or lusty.
