Slipping . . .


One enters this phase
Of a life well-prepared
When its time to just live
With less urgency; care
This step undertaken
Brings leisure; relief
And a gentle and calm
Kind of air

Now's the time to just do
All those things that before
Could not easily be done
Due to time (lack thereof)
But some care must I take
For the leisure desired
From commitments abounding
Seems to ultimately escape

But there's more. . .

. . . more what, you ask???

Much of my leisure time during my adolescent years was spent absorbed in music. Like the copier company in the Baltimore area with the humorous commercials, 'I lived and breathed the stuff.' And since my adolescent years were particularly uncomfortable, not only was music a distraction from school, uncomfortable social situations and my lack of self confidence, it also provided comfort. It was good therapy. And in more ways than one. While I was busy practicing, listening, transcribing and learning, I was absorbing theoretical concepts without consciously realizing it. Many Saturday evenings, when my contemporaries were 'out and about' exploring more prurient interests or logging invaluable experience with (as Zappa called them) 'the opposite camp', I was in front of a black and white television set showing Mary Tyler Moore with a sheet of manuscript paper in front of me, composing or transcribing my own solos or some Art Van Damme or Charles Magnante piece.
