The quiet man with the gentle smile
And the relaxed playing style
Held that workshop in complete thrall
As he revealed to one and all
The advantages of learning to play
Their instruments in Open tuning way
He opened their vistas
Influenced their style
This gentle man
With his gentle smile
I understood barely a word
But I did not care
He trapped me as much
As those guitarists there.
He sang his songs of Fidel and Che
In his own relaxed way
The shipyards of Gdańsk
Followed on
And, with the workshop finished,
Was quietly done.
