Liner Notes for Mahalia

She is the organ, the choir,
a whole orchestra of bassoons,
singing of prayer and hope
and Jesus rockin' in Jerusalem,
a musical Trinity.
Is there a God who cares
a whit about this world?
I don't know,
but Mahlia makes you believe
in music. For the moment,
that's good enough.

  2. Thanks, ladyfairchild. Old bassoonists never die; they just get dryreeda. [I've GOT to come up with something better...]

  3. Perhaps a comment about aging bassoonists needing bifocals for their double reeding?
