I miss the crowds that surge like waves
On sun scorched farmland in dips and valleys
That are otherwise lost to the human eye.
And so I’ve taken to dragging my milk crate
And an old guitar to the park by my home.
People will stare in bemused satisfaction
As I climb on my stage and clear my throat.
I may not be able to draw in a crowd
Like Bruno or Britney in stadium glory
But my rawest of voices and deepest of words
Catches on minds and hooks into hearts
And I’m glad that my concert for three or four people
Has brought out some joy in a world that is needing
That belonging that music can powerfully bring.

Is this true? Is this what you do? If so, I greatly admire you.

I wish I could sing and play. I do miss live music though and I would definitely step up if I had the talent!

I love live music too. Probably the one thing I most miss about the theatre (left in 2000). The was a pub opposite me that had regular bands nights… but it closed. Groan

You’re a musician? That’s really cool. I am too; I play the flute and sing.

Unfortunately no….. singing is the one talent that I wish I had been blessed with.

This kind of person is probably better than Bruno or Britney anyway.
