Here is a poem I just wrote about Rory Gallagher, one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived. And if you don't know him, you should.
Poem For Rory Gallagher (copyright 2019 MWalker)
Michael S. Walker
Sing Float
Scream and Cry
Those are
Some of the tools
In Rory’s Wheelhouse
Someone asked
Jimi once
How it felt
How it felt to be
The Greatest Guitarist
In the World
And he shrugged and said
I don’t know
You’ll have to ask Rory Gallagher
Apocrypha?
Maybe
All I know is that
When I am noodling along
In the same key
There comes that
Inevitable bar
Where I have to lay my guitar down
And just listen…
