Vaguely About Music

About the Book

Vaguely About Music is precisely that – a collection of poems indirectly about music, written over 52 years. Each written with some aspect of music in mind, there are outright dedications to musicians alive and gone, experiences as a musician in and out of art; the music business; dedications to the inspired, the uninspired, metaphors for improvising one’s way through life, (as in The Trick Is To Stay Fresh). Vaguely About Music touches on talent, focus, change and growth all with music as the under-theme. Read as poetry about music, it is about music. Read as a metaphor for action and attitude, it is philosophy.
