Last night, I misplaced my glass slippers
When the golden chariot, turned into a yellow taxi
And I had no faerie godmother to guide me
She was riding her whale, and had drifted out to sea
My recital evening, wandered through crystal glee
Recalling live music, and chalices of cheer
The singer Tennyson, finished and noticed me
After a warm handshake, we talked about being free
And discovered, we mutually liked the band ‘Dirty Three’
Then I exchanged, a Tullawalla poetry booklet, for his CD
Thank you to Tennyson King and his bass guitarist James, for giving of their time, and being genuinely friendly. During our conversation, I found out he’s a Canadian, from Toronto, on a 3 month tour of Australia.
And below a song from ‘Dirty Three’, that maybe I’ve not posted here before…
