The thundering heard

Like a thundering bird

was the haps at Kodak Music Hall

Tiberi was pops

pulling out all the stops

while the band had a natural ball

Solos were slick

the rhythm was quick

the brass blew righteous and mean

I copped a squat

It got real hot

When Pizzarelli finally made the scene

His gaberdine vines

Had slick lines

This gator picked cool and mellow

Woody Herman

Would he? Sure man

Just watch the girls knees turn to Jell-O

Das Contras are Scots

The crowd dug them lots

As they knocked down the one drop and built it

They played rather rogue

Purred Scottish brogue

Took Latin and reggae and kilt it

The Hackensaw Boys

Were making plenty noise

When I dragged my ass into Abilene

The fiddle and bass

Put a smile on every face

Bluegrass so fresh it was green

The drummer was switchin;

From drums to the kitchen

Beatin' on pots and pans

Dusty horsehair

Lust in the air

Perfecto for last-ditch romance

Absolutely pure genious, Frank. Beat poetry at it's finest. It would be kind of cool to have some beat poetry accompanied by jazz at the Fest. Give it a thought, Frank. I'd be in the crowd. Cool.
