WHAT INSPIRED ME

Lots of love poetry on:

Dancing in the shadows of my true loves front door
And her daddy answered, "Don't come around here anymore!"
I was no longer in love hurt to the core. Left a note on her door
While waiting met the girl who lives next door so sing
a little lullaby to your daddy because it ain't really
over until the fat lady sings.


In my youth, yes, inspiration, it was baseball
Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, The Yankees
My how things have changed today
The Mariners no longer in playoffs
I remember when Ronnie played for the Cubbie's
Ronnie Santo, Hall of Fame. and to think
As boy we played ball every day Rainier play field
And yes we stood and saluted the flag
Graduated from High school, sports took a backseat
Washington National Guard graduation
I joined the Air Force to serve my country


But there was an even greater inspiration
I have always loved music and like baseball
I was never good enough at it cannot carry a note
Today I was looking through my collection of albums
Found four of my first albums playing them now
A collection of Golden hits: For some this well
bring back memories of the fifties, sixties
deloti ding dang life could be a dream --Shaboom!
The Crew cuts, Angel in the sky, Kokomo baby we would be--
The Platters--The Great Pretender, Only you. Magic touch
Why do fools fall in love? Church Bells may ring!
I fell in love married had children still love music
The Diamonds and Gaylords. "From the Vine came the Grape"
Can you feel the glow? love love love! Magic touch

Who could forget Les Paul and Mary Ford?:
The World is waiting for the Sunrise
Find words like this in my poetry
Whispering, I'm sitting on top of the world
Vaya con dious..I'm a fool to care

Roy Orbinson: ended my singing career. Crying,
Only the lonely, Candy man. Running scared
For a little relaxing music Bill Blacks combo
Raunchy. Honky tonk, Cherry Pink Apple blossom White
Time for some Tequila--Mack the knife, Bobby Darin
and Andy Williams to put me in dreamland
Goodnight sweetheart well it's time to go
And my one singing part,"Blue Moon, I saw her
standing there without a dream of her own and
A Rose and a baby Ruth, then I woke up and I was
dreaming all the time,Perry Como--Back in Seattle
And a little country, Gene Autry, "Back in the Saddle"
