There’s a poet named Joey
His talent has made many
Green with envy
They all say:
“I wish I could write like that,
spin a rhyme in no time flat”
That old Joey, even at 73,
He’s still got it, poetic wit
sharp as a tack
On top of that,
he’s just an all around
real cool cat

This is a story, of a girl named Lily
She calls herself “an overnight sensation
-years in the making”
All the miles & the struggles were real
To be able, night after night to reveal
To her fans just how she feels
Pouring everything she’s got into her songs

When G.C. C. wrote his songs
they were always hits
He just had a knack for it
A beautiful & razor sharp poetic wit
He & music were a perfect fit
Like a hand in custom gloves
For him it was an absolute labor of love

Travis knew he loved music from an early age
Barely older than a toddler when he first hit a stage,
Every chance he got, the kid would play
Never cared how many dues he had to pay
He was sure he’d succeed one day
He had several good musician friends
Who taught & encouraged him,
Though there were other people
who at first thought he’d crash & burn
Eventually, even their respect he earned
He spent a lot of years working his training ground
Getting ever better, honing his unique sound

Eric’s a genius, a maverick,
an old troubadour
With a voice & music so soothing,
like gentle waves upon a shore

Dedicated to one of my favorite musicians
Sharon was a Texas beauty queen
With dreams of acting on stage & screen
She proved she could do it,
that she had the grit that was needed
& a fiery spirit that couldn’t be defeated
She brought her unique spark(le) to every role
Embraced them w/all her heart & soul

Voices roaring up in outdoor stadium stands
People waving lighters they hold in their hands
Not for someone world famous, man
All the fire & fervor is for a great home town band
Truly known & loved by all of their fans

There is a man named Darrell, he can pick any tune
The man has a gift, I’m telling you
I can’t even count how many times I’ve heard him play
but every time I do, his brilliance still takes my breath away
By:J.N.R Dutton
Oh Rosie, thank you for the poetry
You’re as brilliant as your daddy
Anyone can see, & that’s saying something
Something indeed, because he was legendary
Is it something in your DNA, was your genius taught
or were you born that way?
By:J.N.R Dutton
I Love listening to Ray
I’ll jam to him til my dying day
That’s one piano man that really could play
It was always amazing to me
That even though he couldn’t see,
somehow he never hit a sour key
