At Any
Age
They were
older when
I first met
them,
singing and
swinging
on
television.
Louis and
Ella,
the Count
and the Duke
already had
their place
in jazz
history.
They were
younger
when I met
them
again years
later,
at kiosks
and in films,
in books
and on You Tube.
Learning
their craft and
creating
the sounds
that turned
them into icons.
I learned to appreciate them
at any age.

So true. I watched parts of the I Love Lucy special and realized how YOUNG they were. What a shock.
ReplyDeleteIt's been interesting to learn about their early lives and careers and how they fit into the history of the music.
