Jazz hits those very "Solid chords" of ones heart
Satchmo was no exception to this 'fatal fine art.
Playing the blues, he could hit notes pleasantly
from deep within his soul, it came so carefree.
.
His spontaneity was like a grace through the air
he knew one day it would take him somewhere.
dive bars in New Orleans is how he made a start
while at his young age, he sold coal from a cart.
.
Borrowing insturments to prove he had the soul
being broke and poor in life was just not a goal.
He made vows to step up and make things right
and finally got his chance, to be in the spot light.
.
Blowing that horn he played brought many tears
to audience's everywhere he played to for years.
Becoming the best ~Jazz player~ that ever blew
standing ovations in every town he went through.
.
He played "One of a kind" notes, no secret at all
from [day one] he started in that little town hall.
How did you play like that? they asked long ago
"Man .....if you gotta ask, you'll just never know!"
