"To burn always...."





copyright 2012 Bootlegcircus@blogspot.com

went to see a musical group friday evening
memorial day weekend
free
heard they were a rock group
some people are embarrassed by their
rock and roll past
not me

they played rock
jazz
blues
fusion

the namesake of the group
edgar
edgar winter
i had never seen before
never bought any of his albums before
he has been playing rock and roll for almost
half a century
he is rock and roll
he was there for the birthing
honest credentials
and he aint riding on nobodies coat-tails
or resting on no laurels

mr edgar winter has assembled a quartet
of superb musicians
mr jason carpenter ruled the drums
mr koko powell controlled the 5 string bass
and himself
and throw mr doug rappoports name in the hat
for worlds best rock guitarist
he does not just play guitar
he dominates it 
conquers it
makes it perform to his command

mr edgar winter
shows what half a century of
performance can achieve
leadership
musicianship
showmanship
class
mr edgar winter played keyboard
stationary
and dangling from his neck
and saxophone
and drums very well thank you
and his lips larynx tongue and throat
gave an excellent performance

and when all was said and done
you felt like you had made 4 new friends
and the show was a success
and they rocked

"To burn always with the hard gem like flame,
to maintain this ecstasy,  is success." Walter Pater

"We are nauseated by the sight..."

fake book
sell the bastard out
are we stupid or what
wothehell

excursion eastward
trails and travails
saltlife
sand life
sunlife
incompetent spies
call in the pros

"We are nauseated by the sight of trivial personalities decomposing in the eternity of print."
                                                                    Virginia Woolfe   (1925)

and the circus continues
