Movin' Blues - Part II.

Sep 29, 2004

My good friend, Henry Foner, sent me a verse (only the first so far, says he) after reading my Got The Movin' Blues Blog of yesterday. I thought I would share it with the world. Here 'tis:


Movin' Blues

I've got those "life-was-always-in-my-reach,
Living-in-Manhattan-Beach blues."
I've got those "shedding-all-these-bitter-tears
Shredding-all-those-bitter-years blues."

And ev'ry time the moving man knocks,
I've got to give him another box --

I've got those now-that-Sol-Gorelick's*-gone,
Who'm-I-gonna-lean-upon blues.


* Sol Gorelick was a labor and community activist and friend, who passed away recently.
