Rude awakening number 9
John Entwistle's bass,
Was the groove I heard as I ghosted into the room
Me, an anxious stranger to this scene
A 'man in black' stood by the door
Satisfied, quite serene

That wonderful singer from Dragon
Charmed the girls,
As he moved around the stage
So many great songs came to mind
Jon English mouthed: "relax man, ...'turn the page'"

On the stage,
A vast array of colour, race and creed
Their offerings seamlessly blending into a rare musical treat:
Blues, jazz, alternative, rock...
All genres it seemed ...complete.

Lennon stalked,
In a suit of white
Desperate to catch an unloving woman's eye
While Morrison, looking out of place in a sailors suit,
Couldn't escape a ranked officer's ire

A blast of sax from the master,
Clarence Clemens
The sound just filled the place
Satchmo stood beside him too, blowing up a storm
White towel, busy across his face

The MC at large,
Was Bobby Darren
He handled the role with aplomb
As Dean Martin filled his glass from a water cooler
While he drank, he warbled a song ('King of the road')

I was mesmerised too
By a sea of guitars
Hendrix looked over with a cheeky stare
And offered me his own guitar
I blurted,'Love to mate ...but I don't really dare'

A band of drummers,
Worked in time
Percussion, always a 'renegade tribe'
Moon and Bonham just sitting there
Tapped to the soothing vibe

Together on one stage
Something we were never blessed to see
I looked once, looked twice, rubbed my eyes
Why was this happening to me?

The warm full face of Ted Mulry
Then settled me down
With such a disarming grin
Word had spread that another Beatle had joined the house
The mood became a rolling hymn (Krishna, Krishna)

Following on,
I chanced to see my Dad
Singing his favorite, 'Mary's Boy Child'
(I love that to this day)
Belafonte then joined him too
Across a crackling PA

Thorpie was there in force
(Keep on a rockin', Bill)
No surprise to say
Cass Elliott was closing things out
In her own super-talented way
When the shrill alarm broke it apart ohhh!!!
The rudeness of the day!
