Cathedral walls filled with voices as
Harmonic music was played throughout
Orators of great note – joined in
Resounding hymns and psalms
Until the time came – and
Silence and Reverence came with eucharistic rites

He was part of the attraction
of the rock star band
people would roar, on every tour
when they saw him stand
One day, though in August
something happened out on stage
as the large unwieldly Iron man
thought he was Jimmy Page
No Guitar to speak of,
though his speakers they did blast
heard from far , playing air guitar
playing the bands hits from the past
The band all looked round speechless
as he did his bit to their songs
but the fans they all were cheering
so join in they did , before long
And after the concert was finished
and the robot was boxed away
the fans they would all still be talking
about the day, air guitar he did play
#DiscoverWP #Song
Saturday afternoon – and beyond the double glazing
On tune, northern birds are belting out one hell of a tune
Note – this isn’t the female humans here – but the
Graceful sounds of our feathered friends singing above.

Battery operated radio ?
if you have one of these – expect interruptions
right about now there’s a small feathered friend
doing the fandango up and down on the receiver of the signal
outside and if you
notice a crackle or two – its down to that.
Analogue radio seems to pick up the dancing
Waltzing up and down the aerial
if you listen very carefully – you’ll hear the birds
reacting wildly – so
expect to hear a cheep or two through your headphones

Sat up in the gods, or in the stalls
enjoying the vibe of the tunes
nailing together the storyline and
sewing up all the loose threads
as you watch the actors tell the tale, you
tap away in rhythm with the cast
it wont be long till you join in with the rest
on the request of one of the actors on stage – as the
next thing you know – you’re leading the chorus

Versatile listeners of music
Often like turning this up to
Listening to the sound of the
Umpah band over the
Magical Wireless
Ears appreciating the brass and drums
A post in response to the Tuesday Photo Challenge from Inky

What’s with the guitar Inky ?
I thought i’d start with the musical link – an electric guitar. Clapton, May, Deacon come to mind. It’s loud but in time is methodical, and lyrical – its also the nearest thing to an electrical instrument that doesn’t need a programmer….it does need an amplifier though
Much like the Rocks you find on your average beach….(eh?)
When the waves smack against the rocks its a bit like a percussion instrument. Depending on your location on the beach, the noises can be soft , hard or downright noisy, as the waves lap slap and crash against the shore
Get the wind to go through the holes in the rock, and you could be mistaken for hearing music being played, as theres a definate sound as the wind makes its way round the rock.
Add a chirp or two following the sound of the rocks and the sea – you have a three piece band 🙂
Reminiscent of something i read in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Novel Soul Music
Music with Rocks in – Quite a ring to it too.
And all of this is Acoustic….no electric required.

Guitar, by Brian F Kirkham
Its a bit of a redo – but I’ve cleaned it up for the fun foto challenge

There’s plenty of space to rest your fingers
On the neck of your average guitar
Notes are sounded by the position on the strings
Excellent sounds can be achieved if you put them in the right place
(! and if you get it wrong the first time – you can always try again – Don’t Fret !)

Lighting the dark
Tuesday 10th April 2018
It glows
lighting up the darkness
for all who seek the light
colours brighten the morning sky
produced by insects that do fly
up the trees and plants around
feeding on nectar, without making a sound
to others they brighten a darkened day
but they’re happy to just fly around and play.
